Missing is a 1982 film directed by Costa Gavras, starring Jack Lemmon, Sissy Spacek, Melanie Mayron, John Shea and Charles Cioffi. It is based on the true story of American journalist Charles Horman, who disappeared in the bloody aftermath of the Chilean coup of 1973 that deposed President Salvador Allende. It depicts Horman's father and wife searching in vain to determine his fate. The film is based on a book first published under the title The Execution of Charles Horman: An American Sacrifice (1978) by Thomas Hauser (later republished under the title Missing in 1982). The score is by the Greek electronic composer Vangelis.

The film grossed 14 million dollars in the US, making it the 55th top-grossing movie for 1982.

Missing won the Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay, and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Jack Lemmon), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Sissy Spacek) and Best Picture. The film won also the 1982 Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the Cannes Film Festival and Lemmon was awarded Best Actor for his performance.

The 2007 song 'Rendition' by British rock band Manic Street Preachers is partly based on the film; the lyrics lament 'I wish we still had Jack Lemmon'.

The film was banned in Chile during Pinochet's regime.
