Johnny English is a 2003 spy action comedy film directed by Peter Howitt and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade and William Davies. It is a British-French venture produced by StudioCanal and Working Title Films, and distributed by Universal Pictures.

The character is also related to Atkinson's bumbling spy character from a series of adverts in the United Kingdom for Barclaycard in the 1990s. Released theatrically in the United States on 18 July 2003, the film met with mixed reviews from critics, but was commercially successful having grossed $160 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million.
