《埃及艳后》（英語：Cleopatra）是一部1963年英、美、瑞士共同合拍的史诗歷史电影，內容取材于埃及托勒密王朝末代女王克里奥佩特拉七世与罗马共和国之间的故事，由约瑟夫·L·曼凯维奇执导，伊丽莎白·泰勒、理查德·伯顿、雷克斯·哈里森、和马丁·兰道等人主演。 《埃及豔后》在拍攝製作過程中因為巨大的成本超支和製作麻煩而變得惡名昭彰，其中包括導演和演員陣容的改變，拍攝地點的改變，場景必須建造兩次，缺乏穩固的拍攝劇本，以及演員伊莉沙伯·泰萊和李察·波頓的個人醜聞等。本片在當時是有史以來最昂貴的電影，幾乎令二十世紀福斯破產。 本片是1963年的美国电影票房冠军，在美國的票房收入為5770萬美元（相當於2017年的4.61億美元）。但由于其製作和推銷成本高达4400万美元（相當於2017年的3.52億美元）而仍然賠錢。评论家与观众大多对泰勒和伯顿的表演持正面态度，本片後來获得了4項奧斯卡金像獎和被提名5項獎（包括最佳影片獎，但輸給《風流劍客走天涯》）。
