WWE Home Video is a video distribution and production company that distributes World Wrestling Entertainment programming. A division of WWE formed in 1997 as WWF Home Video, it replaced a similar independent company owned by WWE chairman Vince McMahon, Coliseum Video which operated between 1985 and 1997.

VHS cassettes released by Coliseum generally fell into several categories: "Best-Of" volumes highlighting classic matches, both recent and from the company's earlier years; Wrestler Profiles, which encompassed the WWF careers of company wrestlers, both current and former; theme videos, which showcased match types; or videos of Pay-Per-Views. Coliseum video also released the two World Bodybuilding Federation events.

Upon the company's folding, videos that were being or had been released by Coliseum Video were re-released with new packaging and the WWF Home Video name and logo in 1997. When WWF became WWE in 2002, the name of subsidiary changed as well. Content released by WWE Home Video also falls into the same categories mentioned above, as well as content produced exclusively for home entertainment such as swimsuit videos and retrospective documentaries.

With the expansion of the WWE Video Library, content has also been released from the vast library archives, including classic WWF, AWA, WCW, ECW and NWA content.

Content has been released exclusively in the DVD format since mid 2005.
