Bill Cosby: Himself is a 1983 stand-up comedy film featuring the comedic routines of Bill Cosby. Filmed before a live audience at the Hamilton Place Theatre, in Hamilton, Ontario Cosby gives audiences his comedic views ranging from marriage and parenthood. The film also showcased Cosby's trademark conversational style of stand-up comedy; for the most of the performance, Cosby is seated at the center of the stage, only getting up to emphasize a joke.

Many of the comedic routines presented in this stand-up were the precursors to Cosby's successful sitcom The Cosby Show. An album of the same name was also released.
