Emilia Pérez is a 2024 Spanish-language French musical crime comedy film written and directed by Jacques Audiard. The French production is based on Audiard's opera libretto of the same name, which was in turn loosely adapted from Boris Razon's 2018 novel Écoute.

The film stars Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Selena Gomez, Adriana Paz, Mark Ivanir, and Édgar Ramírez, and is about a feared Mexican cartel leader (Gascón) who enlists a lawyer (Saldaña) to help her disappear and achieve her dream of transitioning into a woman. Its original songs were written by Camille, while its original score was provided by Clément Ducol. The choreographic sections of the film are designed by Damien Jalet.

Filming for Emilia Pérez took place from May to July of 2023 in Île-de-France. The film premiered on 18 May 2024 at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, and was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in its main competition section, where it won the Jury Prize and its female ensemble collectively won the Best Actress award.

It was theatrically released by Pathé on 21 August 2024 to positive reviews. It became the second most nominated film in Golden Globe's history, with 10 nominations at the 82nd edition, including Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, becoming the first non-English-language film to be nominated. Gascón also became the first trans woman to ever be nominated in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy category.

Additionally, it was named one of the top 10 films of 2024 by the American Film Institute. The film was also selected as the French entry for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.
