Vagabond (French: Sans toit ni loi, literally "without roof or law") is a 1985 French drama film written and directed by Agnès Varda and starring Sandrine Bonnaire. Beginning with the discovery of a young female vagabond in a ditch, the film tells—via flashbacks—the story of her last winter, which she spent wandering around the Languedoc-Roussillon wine country.

The film premiered at the 42nd Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion, and was nominated for four César Awards, with Bonnaire winning Best Actress. It was the 36th highest-grossing film of the year in France, with a total of 1,080,143 admissions.
