Hotel Chevalier is a short film by director Wes Anderson, released in 2007. Starring Jason Schwartzman and Natalie Portman, the film acts as a prologue to Anderson's 2007 feature The Darjeeling Limited. The 13-minute short takes place in the eponymous hotel some time before Schwartzman's character, Jack, meets his two older brothers in India. The film was screened out of competition alongside The Darjeeling Limited at the 64th Annual Venice Film Festival. It was shown in North American and British theaters attached to the beginning of (and credited as "Part One of") The Darjeeling Limited.

The film was shot at the Hotel Raphael in Paris, France. The song "Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)" by Peter Sarstedt, from the 1969 album of the same name, is featured prominently in the short.

Hotel Chevalier attracted some attention for containing Natalie Portman's first nude scene, despite her previous insistence that she would never shoot one.
