Easy Money is a 1983 American comedy film directed by James Signorelli, written by Rodney Dangerfield, Michael Endler, P. J. O'Rourke and Dennis Blair, and starring Dangerfield, Joe Pesci, Geraldine Fitzgerald, Candice Azzara, and Jennifer Jason Leigh. It tells the story of a hard-living baby photographer and family man whose snobbish mother-in-law dies in a plane crash where the conditions of his family's inheritance must have him curb his vices for a year. The original music score was composed by Laurence Rosenthal. Billy Joel performed the theme song "Easy Money" from his album An Innocent Man.

The film was met with mixed reviews.
