Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? is a 2008 documentary film conceived by Adam Dell and co-written, produced, directed by, and starring Morgan Spurlock.

The title of the film is a play on the title of the television game show and computer game series, Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, and other "Where in the World is" themes.[2]

In 2017, the CIA revealed that Osama bin Laden himself had a copy of the film on hard drives recovered at his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan.[3]
