Wedding in Galilee (also known as Arabic عرس الجليل trasliteration Urs al-Jalil) is a 1987 film directed by Michel Khleifi. It was awarded the International Critics Prize at Cannes in 1987.

The film takes place in a Galilean Arab village ruled by an Israeli military governor, following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. At the start of the film the village is under a curfew. The village mayor, muktar, wants to celebrate his son's wedding with the traditional elaborate ceremony despite the curfew. The Israeli military governor initially refuses, but finally allows the wedding to take place on the condition that he and his staff are invited.
