The Greek State Film Awards (Greek: Κρατικά Βραβεία Κινηματογράφου) was a part of Thessaloniki International Film Festival concerning exclusively Greek movies. It was one of the most important events in Greek cinema, from its institution in 1992 until 2008.

Until 1991, only Greek movies participated in the Thessaloniki Film Festival. Since 1992 the festival became international and a separate award was instituted for Greek movies. At first the new award was named State Film Awards and later State Film Quality Awards (Κρατικά Κινηματογραφικά Βραβεία Ποιότητας). It was given out by the Greek Ministry of Culture. Apart from the best film award there were awards in other categories such as the best actor, actress, best director etc.

In 2009, during the 50th Thessaloniki Festival, the Greek filmmakers decided to boycott the awards.^[1] The awards were subsequently abolished by a bill of the Ministry of Culture.^[2] It has since been replaced by the Hellenic Film Academy Awards.
