Young Lust is a 1984 American comedy film directed by Gary Weis and starring Fran Drescher, Mews Small and Dana Carvey. It was co-financed by Paramount, who picked up the production from Robert Stigwood's RSO Films.

It was an early script by Bruce Wagner, co-written with Robin Menken. The film is a spoof of soap opera tropes with a large ensemble cast.[1]

It was test screened in Las Vegas on 19 February 1982 [2] and subsequently given a brief theatrical release in Austin, Texas from 27 April to 11 May 1984.[3][4] Other than these screenings, the film has not been exhibited since, nor released on home video, cable television or streaming.
