Elevator to the Gallows (French: Ascenseur pour l'échafaud) is a 1958 French crime thriller tragedy film directed by Louis Malle in his directorial debut. The film stars Jeanne Moreau and Maurice Ronet as lovers whose murder plot starts to unravel after Ronet becomes trapped in an elevator. The screenplay by Roger Nimier and Malle is based on the 1956 novel of the same name by Noël Calef.

Associated by some critics with film noir and introducing new narrative, cinematographic, and editing techniques, the film is considered an important work in establishing the French New Wave and the New Modern Cinema. The improvised soundtrack by Miles Davis and the relationship the film establishes among music, image, and emotion were considered groundbreaking.
