Brandy for the Parson is a 1952 British comedy film directed by John Eldridge and starring Kenneth More, Charles Hawtrey, James Donald and Jean Lodge. A young couple get mixed up in a smuggling ring. It was based on a short story by Geoffrey Household from Tales of Adventurers (1952). The title is a reference to A Smugglers Song by Rudyard Kipling.

Bill and Petronilla are a young couple on a yachting holiday. They agree to give a lift to friendly Tony and his cargo, who unbeknownst to them is a brandy smuggler. Before they know it, the couple are fleeing cross-country, being chased by customs men.

Allmovie called it "wafer-thin comedy"; and The New York Times called it "a mild but tasty distillate."
