Mrs. Delafield Wants to Marry is a 1986 American television movie directed by George Schaefer and starring Katharine Hepburn and Harold Gould.

It tells the story of a well-to-do widow who shocks her snobbish WASP family when she announces that she has fallen in love with her Jewish doctor. His family is equally unhappy with the news, leading both individuals to have to fight the prejudices of their families and of their narrow-minded neighbors.

The film was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards: Oustanding Drama/Comedy Special, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Special (Katharine Hepburn) and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Special (Harold Gould).^[1] George Schaefer was also nominated for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Dramatic Specials at the Directors Guild of America Awards.
