Dominion is a 2018 Australian documentary film. According to the New York Times, Dominion primarily "claims to expose the routine and inhumane practices of animal agriculture in Australia." The film uses shock tactics to portray abuse as typical for multiple industries in Australia, especially agricultural livestock.

The film was written, directed, and produced by animal rights activist Chris Delforce. It features narration by the actors Joaquin Phoenix, Rooney Mara and Sadie Sink, as well as the singer Sia. It premiered in Melbourne on 29 March 2018. The documentary was managed by the animal protection and animal rights organisation, Farm Transparency Project, previously known as Aussie Farms. The movie was filmed to be a feature-length documentary sequel to Lucent (2014), which mostly focused on the Australian pig farming industry. The documentary was produced as part of two crowdfunding campaigns that raised US$19,796 and €57,710, respectively, and it received funding from the Australian animal rights organisation Voiceless.

The Australian Meat Industry Council Chief Executive, Patrick Hutchinson, has said, "What the film shows is not representative of the practices of the wider industry."
