文献纪录片是重演真实历史事件的纪录片式电影、广播节目或电视节目类型。

文献纪录片（英语：docudrama）是一个新词，长与docufiction混淆。docufiction基本是时事叙事的纪录片；而文献纪录片中的“现实”事件间的距离是较远的。文献纪录片基于叙事与虚构，此类片的制作人有时使用事件发生的地点作为舞台。

Docufiction (or docu-fiction), often confused with docudrama, is the cinematographic combination of documentary and fiction, this term often meaning narrative film.

It is a film genre which attempts to capture reality such as it is (as direct cinema or cinéma vérité) and which simultaneously introduces unreal elements or fictional situations in narrative in order to strengthen the representation of reality using some kind of artistic expression.
