Contempt, also known as Le Mépris in its original French, is a film released in 1963, directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

It was based on Alberto Moravia's 1954 Italian-language novel Il disprezzo.

In France, Jeremy Prokosch (played by Jack Palance), an American movie producer, hires the respected German director Fritz Lang (playing himself) to direct a film adaptation of Homer's Odyssey. Dissatisfied with Lang's treatment of the material as an art film, Prokosch hires Paul Javal (played by Michel Piccoli), a novelist and playwright, to rework the script. Conflicted by the dilemma of artistic expression versus commercial opportunity, Paul finds himself at odds with his wife Camille (played by Brigitte Bardot), who believes that his foray into the filmmaking world has robbed him of his personality. The resulting arguments place their entire relationship in jeopardy.

The film is often considered one of Godard's best, and an integral entry of the French New Wave. It was inducted into the Criterion Collection in 2002 as Spine #171.
