One Missed Call (Japanese: 着信アリ, Hepburn: Chakushin ari) is a 2003 Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Miike. The film is based on the novel Chakushin Ari by Yasushi Akimoto.

When Yumi receives a call with the date and time of her death, she struggles to save herself and learn the truth behind the calls.

In 2008, the film was remade into a critically panned English-language adaptation.
