Singh is Kinng is a 2008 Indian action comedy film. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film stars, Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. The film also featured a music video with Snoop Dogg. Released on 8 August 2008, a major part of the shooting was done in Australia. Akshay Kumar was also nominated for the Asian Film Awards under the Best Actor category for his performance in the film. Singh is Kinng was declared Superhit by Box Office India.

The spelling of the word "king" in the film's title with an additional letter "n" was based on advice provided by a numerologist.

This film is not related to the 2015 film Singh Is Bliing, which also starred Akshay Kumar and was rumored to be the sequel to Singh is Kinng.

Lakhan Singh (Sonu Sood), a.k.a. Lucky, is the "kinng of the Australian underworld." He is accompanied by his Sikh mafia associates, Julie (Neha Dhupia), Mika (Jaaved Jaffrey), Pankaj Udaas (Yashpal Sharma), Raftaar (Sudhanshu Pandey), Dilbaugh Singh (Manoj Pahwa) and Guruji Gurbaksh Singh (Kamal Chopra). In a small village in Punjab, the birthplace of Lucky, there lives another Sikh, Happy Singh (Akshay Kumar). Happy, though good at heart, has unintentionally caused many problems in the village, and the villagers are fed up with him. They decide to send Happy on a long trip to Australia with his friend Rangeela (Om Puri) to bring Lucky back to Punjab, which will keep Happy out of the village for some time and bring peace to the village.
