Saint-Narcisse is a 2020 Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Bruce LaBruce. Set in Quebec in 1972, the film stars Félix-Antoine Duval as Dominic and Daniel, a pair of identical twins who were separated at birth and did not previously know of each other's existence, but who fall in love and begin an incestuous relationship.

The cast also includes Tania Kontoyanni, Alexandra Petrachuck, Andreas Apergis and Angèle Coutu.

The film was produced by 1976 Productions and Six Island Productions. It had financial backing from CBC Films, Telefilm, and SODEC.

The film premiered in the Venice Days stream at the 77th Venice International Film Festival. It will be distributed by Best Friend Forever internationally, and by Northern Banner Entertainment (a part of Raven Banner Entertainment) and AZ Films in Canada.
