The Alpinist is a 2021 American documentary film directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen about Marc-André Leclerc, a free-spirited and little-known 23-year-old Canadian rock climber, ice climber, and alpinist. From 2015 to 2016, a film crew followed Leclerc as he solo climbed some of the most difficult and dangerous alpine climbing routes in the world.

The film was produced by Sender Films and Red Bull Media House, and distributed by Universal Pictures and Roadside Attractions. The film was given a limited release on September 10, 2021 in the United States. It received generally positive reviews from film critics and from the climbing media, who compared it favorably to the 2018 documentary Free Solo.
