Kanchenjungha (Bengali: কাঞ্চনজঙ্ঘা Kanchonjônggha) is a 1962 film by Indian film director Satyajit Ray. It was Ray's first original screenplay and his first colour film.

The film is about a upper class Bengali family on vacation in Darjeeling,a popular hill station and resort, near Kanchenjunga. Shot in real time, the film examines the evolving relationships between the various characters. With dialogue shifting between English and Bengali, the film was a departure for Ray.
