Agent Cody Banks is a 2003 American action comedy film directed by Harald Zwart. The film stars Frankie Muniz as Cody Banks, a 15-year-old who has to finish his chores, avoid getting grounded, and save the world by going undercover for the CIA as a James Bond–type superspy. Hilary Duff, Angie Harmon, Keith David, Cynthia Stevenson, Arnold Vosloo and Ian McShane appear in supporting roles.

The film's executive producers include Madonna, whose then-production company Maverick Films acquired the script, and Jason Alexander, who was originally attached to direct before being replaced by Vic Armstrong, who was ultimately replaced by Zwart. It was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Agent Cody Banks was released in the United States on March 14, 2003 by MGM, and received mixed reviews from critics. A sequel, Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London, was released in 2004.
