Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie (Japanese: 劇場版 からかい上手の高木さん, Hepburn: Gekijōban Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san) is a 2022 Japanese animated romantic comedy film based on the manga series Teasing Master Takagi-san and its spin-off Tomorrow Is Saturday, both written and illustrated by Sōichirō Yamamoto, and a sequel to the 2018–2022 anime television series adaptation. Produced by Shin-Ei Animation and distributed by Toho Visual Entertainment, the film is directed by Hiroaki Akagi from an original story written by Hiroko Fukuda, with Aki Itami and Kanichi Katō co-writing it. In the film, Takagi and Nishikata spend the last summer of their third year in junior high school.

Initially teased in August 2021, the film was confirmed alongside the announcement of a third season for the Teasing Master Takagi-san anime series in September. The staff from the third season were announced to be helming the film in March 2022, with Rie Takahashi and Yuki Kaji returning to reprise their respective roles as Takagi and Nishikata. Additional staff and cast of the film were revealed in April 2022.

Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie held an early screening in Chiyoda, Tokyo on June 4, 2022, and was released in Japan on June 10. The film grossed ¥410 million at the box office and received a nomination at the Newtype Anime Awards.
