Cops es un cortometraje mudo estadounidense de 1922 dirigido por Edward F. Cline y Buster Keaton. La cinta es protagonizada por el propio Keaton, y cuenta con las actuaciones de Joe Roberts y Virginia Fox. La trama gira en torno a un joven que debido a una serie de malentendidos termina siendo perseguido a través de la ciudad por un grupo de policías. El cortometraje, de carácter kafkiano, fue filmado durante el juicio contra Roscoe Arbuckle, una circunstancia que pudo haber influido en el tono desesperanzador del cortometraje.
