Finding Macpherson (French: Le mystère Macpherson) is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Serge Giguère and released in 2014.[1] The film centres on animator Martine Chartrand's complex eight-year process of making her 2011 short film Macpherson, including her research into the life of Frank Randolph MacPherson, the Jamaican immigrant to Canada who had inspired Félix Leclerc's song "Macpherson".[1]

The film won the Prix Jutra for Best Documentary Film at the 17th Jutra Awards in 2015.[2]
