Diary for My Father and Mother (Hungarian: Napló apámnak, anyámnak) is a 1990 Hungarian film directed by Márta Mészáros. It is the third film of the autobiographical trilogy, preceded by Diary for My Children and Diary for My Lovers.

The story follows Juli, a young film student, during the 1956 Hungarian uprising. Returning from her studies in Moscow, she sees her friends and family react differently. János, a married factory manager, supports the patriots and later assists fellow workers in staging a strike. Magda, a Secret police officer, is in hiding. Others express anger at being forced from their homes during the revolution. Some decide to emigrate, others stay...

A particularly surreal scene involves a New Year's Eve party in which the participants wear costumes. An intoxicated woman yells anti-government curses out of the window. Within a very short time police arrive and look suspiciously at the guests, who are all wearing ridiculous costumes.

The film contains documentary footage integrated with the story.
