A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (Italian: Una lucertola con la pelle di donna) is a 1971 giallo film co-written and directed by Lucio Fulci and produced by Edmondo Amati and Robert Dorfmann.

The film is an Italian-Spanish-French co-production.

Set in London, the film follows Carol Hammond (Bolkan), the daughter of a respected politician, who experiences a series of vivid, psychedelic nightmares consisting of debauched sex orgies and LSD use. In the dream, she commits a graphic murder of a neighbour whose life she is envious of (Strindberg) and awakes to a real-life criminal investigation into the murder of her neighbour.

The film was released in France as Carole, and was later re-released in the United States as Schizoid.^[1] The French release print is the longest at 101 minutes.^[2]
