The Time-Out Chair is a 6-minute American short film written and directed by Josh Selig, with music by Mark Suozzo. It was produced by Little Airplane Productions, a New York studio Selig co-founded with Lori Shaer. The film premiered on May 3, 2003, at the Tribeca Film Festival and was later acquired by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).

Plot: A preschool girl, after being sent to the time-out chair, leaves her classroom and spends the afternoon in New York City's East Village, dragging the chair behind her.

MoMA acquired the film in 2004. It has been shown in MoMA's family screenings, including January 15, 2011, and as the second short in MoMA's "Figuring Out Feelings" series on March 5, 2016.
