A look-alike, or double, is a person who closely resembles another person.

In popular Western culture, a look-alike is a person who bears a close physical resemblance to a celebrity, politician, or member of royalty. Many look-alikes earn a living by making guest appearances at public events or by performing on television or film, playing the person they resemble. A large variety of celebrity look-alike images can be found throughout the web, including images placed by professional agencies that offer their services.

Look-alikes have also figured prominently, at least since the 19th century, in literature; and since the 20th century, in films and television programs.
