The 1st Filmfare Awards were held on 21 March 1954, honoring the best in Hindi cinema in 1953.

Baiju Bawra & Do Bigha Zamin won 2 awards each, with the former winning Best Actress (for Meena Kumari) and Best Music Director (for Naushad for ''Tu Ganga Ki Mauj''), and the latter winning Best Film and Best Director (for Bimal Roy), thus becoming the most-awarded films at the ceremony.
Dilip Kumar won his first of eight Best Actor awards for his performance in Daag.
