Pardon Mon Affaire (French title: Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, in English literally An Elephant Can Be Extremely Deceptive) is a 1976 French comedy film co-written and directed by Yves Robert.
The film was remade as the 1984 American film The Woman in Red.

The original title contains a pun in French. The word "trompe" means both "the (elephant's) trunk" and "to cheat" (in the sexual/romantic sense). The movie is about a married man's desire to have an affair with a model he just met. The film was followed by the sequel Pardon Mon Affaire, Too! in 1977.
