The Olsen Gang's Last Trick (Danish: Olsen-bandens sidste stik) is a 1998 Danish comedy film directed by Tom Hedegaard and Morten Arnfred, and starring Ove Sprogøe. The film was the 14th and last in the Olsen Gang-series. This film was a latecomer after a 17-year break, when the other films were recorded with an annual premiere or close to it in the period 1968–1981.

During the recordings, both Poul Bundgaard and the director Tom Hedegaard died. Morten Arnfred took over the direction, while Tommy Kenter recorded individual scenes in the role of Kjeld (Bundgaard's role), and Kurt Ravn provided the voice. It was arranged so that Kjeld is either seen from behind or from a long distance. However, they had managed to get a number of scenes with close-ups of Poul Bundgaard recorded beforehand, so the replacement did not mean much for the overall film, apart from the end, which had to be completely rewritten so that Kjeld was not included. Instead, Ruth is the third member of the Gang.
