I'm Not There is a 2007 musical drama film directed by Todd Haynes, who co-wrote the screenplay with Oren Moverman, based on a story by Haynes. An experimental biographical film, it is inspired by the life and music of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, with six actors depicting different facets of Dylan's public personas: Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Marcus Carl Franklin, Richard Gere, Heath Ledger (his final film to be released during his lifetime), and Ben Whishaw. A caption at the start of the film declares it to be "inspired by the music and the many lives of Bob Dylan"; this is the only mention of Dylan in the film apart from song credits, and his only appearance in it is concert footage from 1966 shown during the film's final moments.

The title of the film is taken from the 1967 Dylan Basement Tape recording of "I'm Not There", a song that had not been officially released until it appeared on the film's soundtrack album.

I'm Not There premiered at the 64th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2007, and was released in the United States on November 21 and in Germany on February 28, 2008. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its acting (particularly Blanchett's), directing, and musical score. It appeared on multiple publications' top ten films lists for 2007. Blanchett won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
