Le Corsaire ("The Pirate") is an unfinished 1939 French film. It marked the screen debut of Louis Jourdan.

Some actors put on a play about a pirate, and find themselves encountering similarities from the play in their own lives.

Charles Boyer returned from Hollywood to appear in the movie which was filmed at Studios de la Victorine, Nice, August - September 1939. However production ceased on the declaration of war and Boyer returned to America. The film was never completed, although some footage of it was later released.

A documentary about the making of the movie was released in 1995.
