Longlegs is a 2024 American mystery horror thriller film written and directed by Osgood Perkins. The film stars Maika Monroe, Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, and Nicolas Cage. Set in the 1990s, the story follows a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent assigned to hunt down an occult-obsessed serial killer responsible for a string of family murders across Oregon. The killer is dubbed Longlegs, and baffles the FBI with his perfect ability to seemingly leave zero trace of involvement at the crime scenes.

Cage served as a producer on the film through his Saturn Films production company.

Longlegs premiered in Los Angeles at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre on July 8, 2024, and was released theatrically in the United States by Neon on July 12, 2024. It received positive reviews and grossed $128 million worldwide on a budget of less than $10 million, becoming Neon's highest-grossing film domestically, the highest-grossing independent film of the year, and Perkins's highest-grossing film.
