A look-alike is a living person who closely resembles another living person. In popular Western culture, a look-alike is a person who bears a close physical resemblance to a celebrity, politician or member of royalty. Many look-alikes earn a living by making guest appearances at public events or performing on television or film, playing the person they resemble.

Look-alikes have also figured prominently at least since the 19th century in literature, and in the 20th and 21st centuries in film.
