Anora is a 2024 American romantic comedy-drama film written, directed, and edited by Sean Baker. It stars Mikey Madison as the stripper Anora Mikheeva, and follows her beleaguered romance with the son of a Russian oligarch, played by Mark Eydelshteyn. Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov also star.

Anora premiered on May 21, 2024, in competition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d'Or, the first American film to do so since The Tree of Life in 2011. It was released theatrically on October 18, 2024, by Neon. It received acclaim for Madison's performance and Baker's direction, screenplay, and editing.
