Sleuth is the 1972 film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play Sleuth by British playwright Anthony Shaffer, who wrote the screenplay. Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, it stars Sir Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine.

Sleuth is a 2007 film directed by Kenneth Branagh based on 2005 Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter's screenplay adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play Sleuth, by Anthony Shaffer. It was produced by Jude Law, who also stars in it as Milo Tindle opposite Michael Caine as Andrew Wyke. Caine had starred as Tindle opposite Laurence Olivier's Wyke in the original 1972 film Sleuth. It was mainly marketed as a collaboration between Pinter, Branagh, Law, and Caine, four major names of the British stage and film industry. Though the new film adaptation is termed a "remake", the stars and the reviewers have emphasized that Pinter's "take" on the play differs almost entirely from the original play and film, which he had not seen prior to writing his screenplay.

The Sleuth is a 1925 film featuring Stan Laurel.

Released in the US as a split reel along with the drama Musketeer, The (1911).
