Caligola, successivamente redistribuito con il titolo Io, Caligola, è un film storico pornografico del 1979 diretto da Tinto Brass, con scene di nudo e sessualità riprese da Giancarlo Lui e dall'editore di Penthouse Bob Guccione, che ne fu il produttore. Il film, basato su una sceneggiatura di Gore Vidal, venne co-finanziato dal magazine Penthouse e prodotto da Guccione con l'italiano Franco Rossellini. Io, Caligola è famoso per essere, visti i contenuti forti, uno dei più malfamati film cult mai realizzati e rimane vietato in diversi paesi.
