The Coppola family (/ˈkoʊpələ/ KOH-pə-lə, Italian: [ˈkɔppola]) is an Italian-American family of filmmakers and performing artists.

The family originates from Bernalda in the region of Basilicata. Agostino "August" Coppola (1882–1946) emigrated to the United States circa 1905. He married Maria Zasa (1887–1974) (also from Bernalda) on January 25, 1908. They had seven children—Archimedes, Carmine, Pancrazzo, Mario, Anton, Edward and Clarence. The best-known members, including Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Sofia Coppola and Nicolas Cage, are descended from Carmine Coppola.
