Shady Acres Entertainment is an American film production company founded in 1999 by producer and director Tom Shadyac. It is based at Universal Studios. It is taken from his last name, Shadyac, which separated and became two words "Shady" and "Acres". It also derives from a fictional mental hospital from the first Ace Ventura film. Shady Acres signed a production deal with Universal to produce films while its lone television series was co-produced by Touchstone Television (now ABC Signature).

On June 4, 1999, Shady Acres received a television shingle, which would be based at Touchstone Television (now ABC Signature). Although the company produced a handful of pilots, only one of them would go on the air.

On February 14, 2008, Universal decided to cut ties with that Shady Acres Entertainment studio, and became an independent production outfit.

Nicole Pritchett was the head of development and production at Shady Acres Entertainment from 2009 until 2015, along with one of the Producers of the documentary I AM.
