The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec (French: Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec), released as Adèle: Rise of the Mummy in Malaysia and Singapore, is a 2010 French fantasy adventure film written, produced and directed by Luc Besson. It is loosely based on the comic book series The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec by Jacques Tardi. Set in 1912 Paris, the film follows the eponymous journalist and adventurer, played by Louise Bourgoin, as she attempts to revive a mummified Egyptian physician to save her comatose sister, all while a pterosaur terrorizes the city. Mathieu Amalric, Gilles Lellouche, and Jean-Paul Rouve appear in supporting roles. The film blends elements of adventure, comedy, fantasy, and steampunk.

The film premiered at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival on 9 April 2010 and was released theatrically in France on 14 April 2010. It was a commercial success in France, and grossed $34.1 million worldwide. Critical reception was generally positive, with praise for Bourgoin's performance, the film's visual style, and its faithful yet dynamic adaptation of Tardi's whimsical tone. At the 36th César Awards, the film won Best Production Design for Hugues Tissandier.
