Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) ist eine US-amerikanische Firma, die Spezialeffekte für Filme erstellt. Sie wurde 1975 von George Lucas gegründet, um für den Film Star Wars die optischen Effekte zu generieren. Als einmaliges Projekt geplant, entwickelt sich ILM zu den Trendsettern im Bereich der optischen Effekte und wird von vielen neben dem Weta Workshop, Digital Domain oder Cinesite zu den besten und erfolgreichsten Special Effect Studios Hollywoods gezählt.
