{{short description|Films that are considered remakes of Alfred Hitchcock's}}
A number of Alfred Hitchcock's films have been remade, with official remakes of Murder! and The Man Who Knew Too Much being directed by Hitchcock himself. North by Northwest and Saboteur are also considered by some scholars to be unofficial remakes of Hitchcock's English espionage thriller The 39 Steps.{{cite web |last1=Sauveur |first1=Trace |title=The 39 Steps: Alfred Hitchcock’s Fun, Flighty Trial Run of North By Northwest |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/movies/alfred-hitchcock/the-39-steps-alfred-hitchcock-north-by-northwest |website=Paste Magazine |access-date=19 July 2024}}{{cite web |last1=Eberwein |first1=Robert |title=PART ONE—NEXT OF KIN: REMAKES AND HOLLYWOOD. |url=https://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft1j49n6d3&doc.view=content&chunk.id=d0e500&toc.depth=100&anchor.id=0&brand=ucpress |website=publishing.cdlib.org |access-date=19 July 2024}}{{cite web |last1=Bligh |first1=William Oliver McLean |title=Remaking The 39 Steps : Hitchcock's screenwriting and identification |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10453/127923 |website=Open Publications of UTS Scholars |publisher=UTS |access-date=19 July 2024 |language=en-AU |date=2018}} This list does not include sequels (such as the films that followed the 1960 version of Psycho).
