Les Visiteurs (English: "The Visitors") is a French film directed by Jean-Marie Poiré and released in 1993.

In this comedy, a 12th-century knight and his servant travel in time to the end of the 20th century and find themselves adrift in modern society.

Les Visiteurs held the record for cinema ticket sales in France (13,664,000) from 1993 to 1998 (when it was outsold by Titanic
). Reno and Clavier later reprised their roles in an Americanised remake of the movie entitled Just Visiting.

A sequel, Les Visiteurs 2, was released to a generally poor reception.
