Just Visiting is a 2001 action comedy film and American remake of the French film Les Visiteurs. It stars Jean Reno, Christina Applegate, Christian Clavier, Malcolm McDowell, Tara Reid, and Bridgette Wilson. It follows a medieval knight and his serf who travel to 21st-century Chicago, meeting the knight's descendant.

Unlike the original film, the remake was not successful in either France or the United States.

This was Hollywood Pictures' final production before it folded into the management of its sister company, Touchstone Pictures, until Hollywood Pictures released the 2006 horror film Stay Alive and is one of the last films to be distributed by it. The film earned around $4.8 million domestically in the U.S. and approximately $11.4 million internationally. Despite a production budget of $35 million, the film did not achieve box office success and fell short of recouping its budget through ticket sales.
