M - Il mostro di Düsseldorf (M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Mörder) è un film tedesco del 1931, diretto da Fritz Lang. Il film, che è considerato uno dei prototipi del filone noir che si sviluppò poi in America negli anni Quaranta, si ispira agli efferati crimini commessi nella Germania negli anni venti da Fritz Haarmann e Peter Kürten.
