List of works with different titles in the United Kingdom and United States

This page lists works with different titles in the United Kingdom and United States. Categories of such works include co-editions of books and foreign releases of films. Unless otherwise noted, UK titles are also used in most other countries, with the exception of Canada. Not listed are minor changes due to American and British English spelling differences; for example, the American film '' Rumor Has It...'' is titled ''Rumour Has It...'' in the UK, and, atypically, in Canada as well.

Legend:
