The National Film Award for Best Hindi Feature Film is one of the National Film Awards presented annually by the National Film Development Corporation of India. It is one of several awards presented for feature films and awarded with Rajat Kamal (Silver Lotus).

The National Film Awards, established in 1954, are the most prominent film awards in India that merit the best of the Indian cinema. The ceremony also presents awards for films in various regional languages.

Awards for films in seven regional language (Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu) started from 2nd National Film Awards which were presented on 21 December 1955.[1] Three awards of "President's Silver Medal for Best Feature Film", "Certificate of Merit for the Second Best Feature Film" and "Certificate of Merit for the Third Best Feature Film" were instituted. The later two certificate awards were discontinued from 15th National Film Awards (1967). Shyam Benegal won the award seven times (most by any director) followed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee who won six times. Since the 70th National Film Awards, the name was changed to "Best Hindi Feature Film".[2]

Directed by Sohrab Modi, the 1954 film Mirza Ghalib was honoured with the first president's silver medal for Best Feature Film in Hindi. The most recent recipient is Gulmohar
