Winter Days (Japanese: 冬の日, Fuyu no hi) is a 2003 animated film, directed by Kihachiro Kawamoto. It is based upon the renga of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō.

The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material — the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by a different animator or team. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names of animation from across the world.

The released film consists of the 40-minute animation, followed by an hour-long 'making-of' documentary, including interviews with the animators.
