The Havelock Family Drive-In is a drive-in cinema in Havelock, Ontario, Canada. The drive-in format emerged in the United States in the 1930s and spread across North America, becoming a dominant form of family entertainment by the 1950s and 1960s.

The drive-in industry declined sharply from the 1970s onward due to the rise of multiplex cinemas, home video, and changing consumer habits. However, a number of drive-ins have survived or been revived, benefiting from nostalgia and, more recently, from their suitability as socially distanced entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Havelock Family Drive-In is part of this enduring tradition of independent, community-focused drive-in theatres in Canada.
