The Romantic Englishwoman is a 1975 British film directed by Joseph Losey. It stars Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson and marks the feature-length screen debut for Kate Nelligan. The screenplay was written by Tom Stoppard and Thomas Wiseman.

Caine plays a successful English novelist whose discontented wife, played by Jackson, decides to take a holiday to Germany in order to 'find herself'. There she meets an ambiguous young man in an elevator which initiates an often bizarre, but extremely mature examination of desire, responsibility and the nature of love.
