This is a list of known filming locations used in Universal Studios' Back to the Future trilogy.

Please note: Many of these locations are privately owned, and may be viewed only from a distance. Always respect the owners' privacy and property. Trespassing on private property is an offence — usually backed up with heavy fines for offenders — and to do so to take photographs is not encouraged.
