The Silver Lion (or Leone d'Argento) refers to a number of awards presented at the Venice Film Festival. The prize is awarded irregularly and has gone through several changes of purpose. Until 1995, the award was infrequently given to a number of films as second prize for those nominated for the Golden Lion. At various times, the Silver Lion has also been awarded for debut films, short films, and direction.
From 1953 to 1957, the Silver Lion was awarded to a number of films nominated for the Golden Lion as a second prize.
From 1983 to 1989, the Silver Lion was awarded to the best film by a director for his debut film.
Since 1988, the Silver Lion has been given to one or more films nominated for the Golden Lion.
