Rams (Icelandic: Hrútar) is a 2015 Icelandic drama film written and directed by Grímur Hákonarson. It follows two sheep farmers and estranged brothers, Kiddi (Theódór Júlíusson) and Gummi (Sigurður Sigurjónsson), in rural Iceland, who must deal with a scrapie outbreak in their flock.

The film had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2015, where it won the Prix Un Certain Regard. It was selected as the Icelandic entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
