Monsieur Beaucaire is a 1924 American silent romantic historical drama film starring Rudolph Valentino in the title role, Bebe Daniels, and Lois Wilson.
It is French dancer Paulette Duval's second American picture; the Belgian André Daven, playing the brother of Valentino's character, was hired for his resemblance to the Latin lover; the Nantes-based Georges Barbier designed the 350 costumes.
Alicia Annas wrote that audiences were most likely alienated by the general design of the film which, while historically accurate, was not tailored to 1920s American filmgoers' tastes.

The 1951 biopic Valentino, produced by Columbia Pictures, directed by Lewis Allen with Anthony Dexter, includes a sequence dedicated to Monsieur Beaucaire.
