Comic Book Confidential is an American/Canadian documentary film that was released in 1988.

Directed by Ron Mann and written by Charles Lippincott and Mann, the film is a survey of the history of the comic book medium, particularly from the point of view of it being an art form. The film includes profiles of a number of notable and influential talents in the comics field, such as Charles Burns, Art Spiegelman, Françoise Mouly, Frank Miller, Stan Lee, Will Eisner, Robert Crumb, Harvey Pekar, and William M. Gaines. A live action version of Bill Griffith's character, Zippy the Pinhead, also appears.

The film received the 1989 Genie Award (Canada's equivalent of the Academy Awards) for Best Documentary. It was also one of the first films to be released in CD-ROM format for home computer viewing (as a forerunner of the later DVD).
