Night Moves is a 1975 American neo-noir thriller film directed by Arthur Penn from a screenplay by Alan Sharp. It stars Gene Hackman as an ex-professional football player turned Los Angeles private investigator, who uncovers a series of sinister events while searching for the missing teenaged daughter of a former film actress. The cast also features Susan Clark, Edward Binns, Jennifer Warren, James Woods, and Melanie Griffith in her film debut.

The film was released by Warner Bros. Pictures on June 11, 1975. It received positive reviews from critics, but a lukewarm commercial reception. Hackman was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Actor for his performance. In the years since its release, Night Moves has attracted viewers and significant critical attention following its home media releases. It has been called "a seminal modern noir work from the 1970s."
