Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller (also known as Les aventuriers du timbre perdu in Quebec) is a 1988 Canadian urban fantasy adventure film written and directed by Michael Rubbo, and the seventh film in the Tales for All series produced by Les Productions la Fête. The film stars Lucas Evans, Anthony Rogers, Jill Stanley, Andrew Whitehead, Paul Popowich, and Rufus Wainwright in his film debut. The film follows a young boy named Ralph who, while trying to reobtain a stamp from the title character, discovers a method to magically travel by mail, and sets out to find the stamp collection of the mysterious Charles Merriweather.

Filming took place in Canada, China, and Rubbo's native Australia. The score was composed by Anna, Jane, and Kate McGarrigle. Kate's children, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, also perform original songs on the soundtrack.

A sequel, The Return of Tommy Tricker, was released in 1994.
