Ready to Rumble is a 2000 American buddy comedy wrestling film directed by Brian Robbins and written by Steven Brill, which is based on Turner Broadcasting System's now defunct professional wrestling promotion, World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The film stars David Arquette, Oliver Platt, Scott Caan, Bill Goldberg, Rose McGowan, Diamond Dallas Page, Joe Pantoliano and Martin Landau.

The film draws its title from ring announcer Michael Buffer's catchphrase, "Let's get ready to rumble!", and features many wrestlers from WCW.
