Call Me Mother is a 2025 Philippine comedy drama film directed by Jun Robles Lana from a story and screenplay he co-wrote with Daisy G. Cayanan and Daniel S. Saniana (who also served as co-producer). Starring Vice Ganda and Nadine Lustre, the film follows a queer single mother who plans to legally adopt her foster son, but the process becomes complicated when the boy's biological mother unexpectedly shows up.

A co-production between Star Cinema, The IdeaFirst Company, and Viva Films, the film premiered at the 51st Metro Manila Film Festival on December 25, 2025. It marks Vice and Lustre's third film together since they last co-starred in the 2010 film Petrang Kabayo and in the 2015 film Beauty and the Bestie. The film received positive feedback from audience and critics and earned ₱392 million pesos nationwide, becoming the highest grossing Philippine film of 2025.
