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。

A docudrama (or documentary drama) is a genre of radio and television programming, feature film, and staged theatre, which features dramatized re-enactments of actual events. On stage, it is sometimes known as documentary theatre.

In the core elements of its story a docudrama strives to adhere to known historical facts, while allowing a greater or lesser degree of dramatic license in peripheral details, and where there are gaps in the historical record. Dialogue may include the actual words of real-life persons, as recorded in historical documents. Docudrama producers sometimes choose to film their reconstructed events in the actual locations in which the historical events occurred.
