Robert Award for Best Non-English Language Film

The Robert Award for Best Non-English Language Film, previously named the Robert Award for Best Non-American Film until 2018, is an award presented by the Danish Film Academy at the annual Robert Awards ceremony. The award has been handed out since 1997. Between 1984 and 1996 a Robert Award for Best Foreign Film was handed out.

History
In the first years of the Robert Awards, between 1984 and 1996, only a Robert Award for Best Foreign Film was awarded. Then the category was split into two awards: the Robert Award for Best Non-American Film (from 1997) and the Robert Award for Best American Film (from 1999). The names of these categories were changed in 2019 to the Robert Award for Best English Language Film and Robert Award for Best Non-English Language Film.
