Come Drink with Me (大醉俠) is a 1966 Hong Kong wuxia film produced by the Shaw Brothers Studio and directed by King Hu. Set in China during the Ming dynasty, it starred Cheng Pei-pei, Yueh Hua and Chan Hung-lit in the leading roles, and features action choreography by Han Ying-chieh.

Considered one of the greatest wuxia films of all time, Come Drink with Me was both a critical and commercial success, and launched the career of Cheng Pei-pei as a star of the wuxia genre. It was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 39th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
