Suicide Club is a 2001 Japanese independent horror film written and directed by Sion Sono. It stars Ryō Ishibashi, Masatoshi Nagase, Akaji Maro, Saya Hagiwara, Yoko Kamon, Rolly, Hideo Sako, Kimiko Yo, Mika Kikuchi, So Matsumoto, and Takashi Nomura. The film explores a wave of seemingly unconnected suicides across Japan and the efforts of the police to determine the reasons behind it.

Suicide Club premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 29, 2001, and was released in Japan on March 9, 2002. It was shown at numerous global film festivals and won the Jury Prize for Most Ground-Breaking Film at the 2003 Fantasia Festival. It has since developed a significant cult following.
