Yorck Kinogruppe (German: Yorck cinema group) is a group of cinemas based in Berlin, Germany, specialising in art house films. The group consists of 14 cinemas and 1 outdoor site in Berlin, while providing programming and financial services to independent companies in other German cities.[1]

The company mostly operates historic cinemas built in the early 20th century, while only two of the theaters have been built in recent years. Many of its theaters are venues of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Yorck has opened the first cinemas in Berlin showing films exclusively in their original language[2], beginning with Odeon in 1985.[3] Since 1998, the company publishes its own film magazine "Der Yorcker".

The company has received multiple awards for outstanding programming, with its delphi LUX cinema winning the Award for Best Cinema by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media in 2019.[4]
