Heavenly Bodies is a 1984 Canadian drama film directed by Lawrence Dane, written by Dane and Ron Base, and starring Cynthia Dale, Richard Rebiere, Walter George Alton, Laura Henry, Stuart Stone and Patricia Idlette. It focuses on a single mother who quits her job and pursues her dream to open an aerobics studio, eventually competing with a fitness tycoon for a television aerobics instructor's grueling dance marathon.

The film premiered in Japan in December 1984 before being released in the United States and Canada on February 1, 1985, by MGM/UA Entertainment. Though a box-office disappointment, the film was particularly popular in Japan.
