《大獨裁者》（英語：The Great Dictator）是由查理·卓別林自導自演的一部電影。於1940年首映，它尖銳諷刺了納粹主義和阿道夫·希特勒。全戲高潮是在片末，他公然要求在政治上對抗法西斯主義。 本片特別之處在於其上映時代，那是美国加入第二次世界大战之前，美國仍和納粹德國保持良好關係。在對納粹主義的恐慌還未完全爆發時，卓別林此作就已經震撼人心了，並對希特勒、法西斯主義、军国主义和納粹主義予以譴責。他在片末說道：「機器人只有機械的思想和機械的心靈！」（machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts）。 這部戲是卓別林首部有声电影，也是他票房最高的電影之一。
