Manon (French pronunciation: [manɔ̃]) is a 1949 French drama film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot and starring Serge Reggiani, Michel Auclair and Cécile Aubry. It is a loose adaptation of the 1731 novel Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost.

The film won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and was a popular success with over three million tickets sold in France.
