Grimsby (released as The Brothers Grimsby in the United States and Canada) is a 2016 spy action dark comedy film directed by Louis Leterrier and written by Sacha Baron Cohen, Phil Johnston, and Peter Baynham. The film stars Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Rebel Wilson, Isla Fisher, Annabelle Wallis, Gabourey Sidibe, Penélope Cruz, and Ian McShane, and follows a football hooligan who reunites with his long-lost brother, an MI6 agent, and must work together to stop the global plot.

Grimsby was released by Sony Pictures Releasing, on 24 February 2016 in the United Kingdom and 11 March 2016 in the United States. It was poorly received by film critics and failed to recoup its $35 million budget, making it a box-office failure.
