L'esorcista (The Exorcist) è un film horror del 1973 diretto da William Friedkin e tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di William Peter Blatty, che scrisse anche la sceneggiatura del film. La pellicola ebbe molto successo malgrado i problemi di censura e, negli anni seguenti, generò due sequel: L'esorcista II - L'eretico (1977), L'esorcista III (1990), e una riedizione in versione integrale del 2000, con circa undici minuti di scene inedite. Nel 1974 ne fu anche realizzata una versione cinematografica turca intitolata Şeytan, mentre nel 2016 è servita da ispirazione per l'omonima serie televisiva The Exorcist, che si pone come sequel. Nel 1975 ne fu girata una parodia in Italia, L'esorciccio, con Ciccio Ingrassia nei panni del prete esorcista, e nel 1990 una negli Stati Uniti, Riposseduta, con la stessa Linda Blair nel ruolo della ragazza posseduta, Leslie Nielsen nel ruolo del sacerdote anziano e nella parte di quello più giovane. Ben accolto dalla critica, il film divenne presto un punto di riferimento del cinema moderno, acquisendo una notevole popolarità e esercitando un forte impatto culturale. Nel 2010 entrò a far parte del National Film Registry della Biblioteca del Congresso degli Stati Uniti.
