The Comedians is a 1967 American political drama film based on a book by Graham Greene. It was directed and produced by British filmmaker Peter Glenville. Graham Greene wrote the screenplay.

Set in Haiti during the regime of François "Papa Doc" Duvalier, it was filmed in Dahomey (Benin since 1975). The film tells the story of a sardonic British hotel owner and his encroaching fatalism as he watches Haiti sink into barbarism and squalor under Duvalier.
