GIGN has been featured in dozens of media works, including films, television shows, novels, video games, and strip cartoons, typically working alongside other international counterterrorist units. They have also been the focus of several works, including:
*''[[The Assault (2010 film)|L'Assaut]]'', a 2010 French film about the Air France Flight 8969 hijacking. It was done with the collaboration and the advice of GIGN. There are a few fictional personal stories intertwined with the operation, but otherwise, the film is accurate to reports of the operation.
*''[[Rebellion (2011 film)|L'Ordre et la Morale]]'' (''Rebellion''), a 2011 film depicting the controversial 1988 [[Ouvéa cave hostage taking]] in New Caledonia, from the perspective of then-GIGN leader Philippe Legorjus. Even though he played a major role in the negotiations, and participated in the first part of the assault, Legorjus' leadership during and after the operation was contested, and he left GIGN a few months later.
*''[[15 Minutes of War|L'intervention]]'' (''15 Minutes of War''), a 2019 French-Belgian war film ''very'' loosely based on GIGN's 1976 hostage rescue of school children in [[Djibouti]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://foreignlegion.info/1976-loyada-hostage-rescue-mission/|title=1976 Loyada Hostage Rescue Mission|access-date=20 June 2019|work=French Foreign Legion Information}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unifrance.org/film/45321/15-minutes-de-guerre|title=15 minutes de guerre (2017)|website=www.unifrance.org|access-date=4 July 2018|language=French}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=261322.html|title=L'Intervention|publisher=AlloCiné|access-date=4 July 2018|language=French}}</ref>
