A Man Astray (German: Ein Mann auf Abwegen) is a 1940 German comedy adventure film directed by Herbert Selpin and starring Hans Albers, Charlotte Thiele and Hilde Weissner.

The sets were designed by the art directors Paul Markwitz and Fritz Maurischat.

Percival Pattersson, a wealthy Swedish industrialist, disappears one morning without warning, and police suspect a crime.

However, his daughter Ingrid and a journalist both suspect he has deliberately vanished and set out to track him down.

Pattersson has in fact been laying low incognito but when his daughter approaches, he flees to Geneva posing as the chauffeur of the singer Lisaweta who he has fallen in love with.
