Drunken Monkey is a 2003 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by and starring Lau Kar-leung. It was the first kung fu film released by the Shaw Brothers Studio in two decades. This was the final film Kar-leung directed before dying on June 25, 2013.

Drunken Monkey was released in Hong Kong on 5 May 2003. It grossed a total of HK$153,560.

Ken Eisner of Variety wrote that the film's fight choreography overcomes its cheesiness and derivative story. David Cornelius of DVD Talk rated it 3/5 stars and wrote, "When the action's on, "Drunken Monkey" is a total blast. When the action's off, Drunken Monkey is a total snooze."
