Raleigh Studios is a studio facility located in Hollywood, Los Angeles and has been under the ownership of Raleigh Enterprises since 1979. The location has been active since 1915.[1] Before Raleigh, the studio was run by the Famous Players Film Company, Producers Studios, Clune Studios, California Studios, and others.[2] Raleigh "has no identifiable brand or logo", serving as a rental space for numerous films both before Raleigh Enterprises ownership and afterward.[3] Author Tom Ogden describes Raleigh Studios as "an independent studio, unaffiliated with any of the majors" which in 2009 had nine soundstages available.[4] As of 2022, the location had 13 soundstages.[5]

There are offshoots of Raleigh Studios, including Raleigh Studios Michigan in Pontiac, Michigan.[6]
