Captain Craddock (French: Le capitaine Craddock) is a 1931 German French-language musical comedy film directed by Max de Vaucorbeil and Hanns Schwarz and starring Jean Murat, Käthe von Nagy and Charles Redgie. It is a French-language version of the 1931 German film Monte Carlo Madness. It is sometimes known as Bombe Sur Monte Carlo.

The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut.

According to Philippe Goddin, author of Hergé - Chronologie d'une oeuvre, the name of Tintin's character Captain Haddock is inspired by this film. In The Crab with the Golden Claws, Haddock sings one of the film songs, Les gars de la Marine.
