The Mirror Has Two Faces is a 1996 American romantic comedy-drama film produced and directed by Barbra Streisand, who also stars. The screenplay by Richard LaGravenese is loosely based on the 1958 French film Le Miroir à deux faces written by French filmmakers André Cayatte and Gérard Oury. In addition to Streisand, the film's cast includes Jeff Bridges, Pierce Brosnan, George Segal, Mimi Rogers, Brenda Vaccaro, and Lauren Bacall.

The plot follows a shy, middle-aged professor (Bridges) who pursues a platonic relationship with an unlucky-in-love colleague (Streisand).

The film was released in the United States by TriStar Pictures (through Sony Pictures Releasing) on November 15, 1996, and grossed $82 million. Streisand, Marvin Hamlisch, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and Bryan Adams composed the film's theme song "I Finally Found Someone", a duet performed by Streisand and Adams.
