Coriolanus ist ein britisches Historiendrama aus dem Jahr 2011 und die erste Regiearbeit des Schauspielers Ralph Fiennes. Die Handlung basiert auf der Tragödie Coriolanus von William Shakespeare, in welcher der römische Patrizier und Kriegsheld Caius Martius Coriolanus sich rachsüchtig gegen sein eigenes Volk wendet. Die antike Vorlage ist eine Erzählung im 2. Buch des Geschichtswerks von Titus Livius „Ab urbe condita“. Im Film wird die Handlung hingegen in das 21. Jahrhundert verlegt. Der Film lief im internationalen Wettbewerb der 61. Berlinale. Die Dreharbeiten begannen im März 2010 und fanden unter anderem in Belgrad statt.
