"Ronia, the Robber's Daughter" ("Ronja Rövardotter" in Sweden, "Ronja Robbersdaughter" in the USA) is a 1984 Swedish/Norwegian fantasy film directed by Tage Danielsson and adapted for screenplay by Astrid Lindgren herself.

When the film was broadcast on television two years after the theatrical premiere, the film was twenty minutes longer and uncensored (the theatrical release allowed viewing from 7 years and older). This spurred a debate where critics asked if film was more harmful in the film theatres than on television.
