Hustler Video is a privately held American adult film production company owned by businessman Larry Flynt via Larry Flynt Publications. It forms part of the Hustler brand family, which also encompasses Hustler magazine, the Hustler Casino, and Hustler Hollywood retail stores. In 2003, the company broadened its portfolio by acquiring VCA Pictures, which remains an independent label under the LFP group.

The studio is particularly noted for its emphasis on creating parodies inspired by popular movies and well-known personalities such as Paris Hilton, David Hasselhoff, and Lindsay Lohan, as well as television series like "Happy Days," "Star Trek," and "Glee." A notable example of its topical productions is Who's Nailin' Paylin, released during the 2008 U.S. presidential election cycle, which capitalized on current political themes to boost visibility and sales.
