: Considering the nature of media and the importance of students' physical health, this research has examined the relationship between media literacy of parents and motor literacy of their children. In this research, 80 fifth grade students of non-profit schools in district 1 of subregion 12 of Tehran were selected by classification method and through Morgan's table. To measure students' physical literacy, the Fitnessgram test, including body composition (BMI), aerobic fitness (540 meters walking and running test), muscular fitness (sit-up test and swedish swimming of 90 degrees), fexibility (sit-and-reach flexibility test) and balance (Ball-handling skills) were used. In addition, 160 parents of these students were asked to complete the Media Literacy Questionnaire. The hypotheses of this research were tested by simple multiple regression method, Pearson's correlation and one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc test, and the research results indicate a positive and meaningful relationship between parents' media literacy and children's motor literacy. Based on that, it can be said that parents and related factors, by focusing on the function of the media, can provide reasons for the growth and development of motor literacy of students.
