Strawberry Shortcakes (2006) is a Japanese film by director Hitoshi Yazaki. The film, based on the Japanese manga of the same name by Kiriko Nananan, concerns the life of four girls, as they deal with their own insecurities while living in the metropolis of Tokyo.

A translated version of the manga, under the title Sweet Cream and Red Strawberries, was scheduled for release in the United States in 2007 by CPM Manga, but that now seems unlikely to happen.
