The present invention relates to liquid crystal display technology, and provides an optical compensation film for a liquid crystal display, including a first polarizer and a second polarizer disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal panel respectively, and an A-plate and a C-plate arranged between the liquid crystal panel and the first polarizer or between the liquid crystal panel and the second polarizer, wherein the in-plane compensation value for optical path difference of the A-plate RoA-plate lies in the range of [92, 184]nm, the compensation value for optical path difference in the thickness direction of the A-plate RthA-plate lies in the range of [46, 92]nm. The dark-state light leakage distribution and the contrast ratio of the display are improved through the optical compensation film according to the invention. The invention further provides a liquid crystal display including an optical compensation film.
