Seafood (simplified Chinese: 海鲜; traditional Chinese: 海鮮; pinyin: Hǎixiān) is a 2001 Chinese film directed by the established writer Zhu Wen.

Seafood was produced independently by Thought Dance Entertainment and Zhu's own Zhu Wen Workshop.

As a result of the film's dark premise, Seafood has been called "one of the most transgressive visions of China...ever witnessed."
Never released in China, the film nevertheless was well received abroad, where it won numerous awards most notably at the 2001 Venice International Film Festival.
