Betty Boop filmography
Short films	89
Television movies	2

The following is a list of films and other media in which Betty Boop has appeared. She was featured in 126 theatrical cartoons between 1930 and 1939 (89 in her own series and 37 in the Talkartoons, Screen Songs and Color Classics series).

Starting in 2013, Olive Films released the non-public domain cartoons on Blu-ray and DVD in four "Essential Collection" volumes, although they were restored from the original television internegatives that carried the altered opening and closing credits. Volume 1 was released on August 20, 2013, and Volume 2 on September 24, 2013. Volume 3 was released on April 29, 2014, and Volume 4 on September 30, 2014.

In May 2022, animator and archivist Steve Stanchfield released a Blu-Ray collection titled "The Other Betty Boop Cartoons, Volume 1" through his label Thunderbean Animation, which features public domain cartoons that were not on the Olive Films sets. It includes the long-lost, recently discovered cartoon Honest Love and True.
