In Bruges is a 2008 British black comedy-drama film written and directed by Martin McDonagh. The film stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two hitmen in hiding, with Ralph Fiennes as their gangster boss. The film takes place — and was filmed — within the Belgian city of Bruges.

In Bruges was the opening night film of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. The film opened in limited release in the United States on February 8, 2008; premiered at the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival on February 15, 2008; later went on full release in Ireland on March 8, 2008; and opened April 18, 2008 in the United Kingdom.

Colin Farrell won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for the film, while Martin McDonagh won a BAFTA Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film has since gone on to achieve cult status.
