Nouvelle Vague is a 2025 comedy drama film directed by Richard Linklater. Starring Guillaume Marbeck as Jean-Luc Godard, Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, and Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, it follows the shooting of Breathless (1960), one of the first feature films of the French New Wave of cinema.

Nouvelle Vague had its premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2025. It was theatrically released in France by ARP Sélection on 8 October and received a limited theatrical release in the United States on 31 October, before streaming on Netflix on 14 November.

At the 51st César Awards, Linklater became the first and only American filmmaker to win Best Director. The film was also nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, while Deutch was nominated for Best Supporting Performance at the 41st Independent Spirit Awards.
