Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs is a 1966 Italian spy-spoof Technicolor film directed by Mario Bava and starring Vincent Price, Fabian, Francesco Mulé, Laura Antonelli and the Italian comedy team of Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia.

The film was shot in Italy by cinematographer Antonio Rinaldi and the Italian version is reported to be quite different from the English-language edition, with more screen time spent on the antics of Franco and Ciccio and less on Vincent Price and the other American cast members. The Italian title of the film is Le spie vengono dal semifreddo (Literally, "The Spies Who Came In From the Semicold"). The Italian title was a pun on The Spy Who Came in from the Cold.

The "Dr. Goldfoot" of the English version is obviously a parody of James Bond's foe Goldfinger; the eponymous 1964 film was highly successful and still fresh in the public consciousness at the time the previous film in the series, Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine was made.

Price plays the titular mad scientist who is working with the Chinese government to use exploding female robots to disrupt a scheduled NATO war-game by blowing up the various generals involved in the exercise (one of whom looks exactly like Goldfoot, and whom Goldfoot later impersonates). Fabian is the hero who works to thwart the plot, when he isn't busy chasing women such as Laura Antonelli's character. The film ends with an extended frantic chase through the streets of Rome, and Goldfoot attempting to start World War III between Russia and the United States by dropping a nuclear bomb on Moscow.
