国家评论协会（The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures）又译国家电影评论协会、国家评论会，是个历史悠久的影评组织，成立于1909年。

国家评论协会最初是个电影审查机构，由于当时的纽约市长小乔治·B·麦克莱伦（George B. McClellan, Jr.）认为电影新媒体的充斥者色情、暴力…等题材，于是在曼哈顿柯柏联盟学院共同成立「New York Board of Motion Picture Censorship」。为了确保公司的发行权，电影院商马可斯·劳易斯（Marcus Loew）与约翰·科利尔（John Collier），以及其他电影发行商（汤玛斯·爱迪生、美国幕镜与拜奥公司、百代电影公司、高蒙电影公司）都加入这个组织，不久后改名为国家评论协会（National Board of Review of Motion Pictures），以去掉争议性的审查（Censorship）一词。在1916年到1950年代期间，任何美国电影必须在片头字幕打上国家评论协会的注册记号，才能放映。

The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures was founded in 1909 in New York City, just 13 years after the birth of cinema, to protest New York City Mayor George B. McClellan, Jr.'s revocation of moving-picture exhibition licenses on Christmas Eve 1908. The mayor (son of the famed Civil War general) believed that the new medium degraded the morals of community. To assert their constitutional freedom of expression, theatre owners led by Marcus Loew and film distributors (Edison, Biograph, Pathé and Gaumont) joined John Collier of The People's Institute at Cooper Union and established the New York Board of Motion Picture Censorship, which soon changed its name to the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures to avoid the taint of the word "censorship".
