Le bal (Italian: Ballando ballando, French pronunciation: ​[lə bal], meaning "The ball") is a 1983 Italian-Franco-Algerian film without dialogue directed by Ettore Scola that represents a fifty-year story of French society by way of a ballroom in France.

The film won the 1984 César Award for Best Film ex-æquo (tie) with À nos amours. It also was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, representing Algeria (rather than France). At the 34th Berlin International Film Festival, Ettore Scola won the Silver Bear for Best Director.
