The Roly Poly Man is a 1994 Australian feature film.

Even though the film didn't perform well at the box office, it had a healthy life in film festival appearances, television sales, DVD, and sales to a number of international territories (Italy and South Africa).

It is one of the more unusual films made in Australia, as it combined schlock, critters, film noir and splatter to create an 'out there' type of comedy that appealed to a niche audience.

The film was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay at the 1994 AFI Awards.

The Roly Poly Man's director, actor/director Bill Young, co-directed the documentary A Very Short War.
