Tales of a Golden Geisha (あげまん; Ageman) is a 1990 Japanese comedy film by director Itami Juzo.

The film stars two of Itami's regular actors, Nobuko Miyamoto as a geisha who brings luck on the men she sleeps with, and Masahiko Tsugawa as her unfaithful, sometimes partner. As well as showing the her relationships with the man she loves and the men who employ her, it satirises corruption and the influence of money in Japanese politics.
