The 22nd Cannes Film Festival took place from 8 to 23 May 1969. Italian filmmaker Luchino Visconti served as jury president for the main competition.
The Grand Prix du Festival International du Film, then the festival's main prize, was awarded to If.... by Lindsay Anderson.
At this edition a new non-competitive section called Directors' Fortnight was created, in response to the cancellation of the 1968 festival.
The festival opened with Sweet Charity by Bob Fosse.
