Cyclo (Vietnamese: Xích Lô [sɨt̚˦˥ lo˧˧]) is a 1995 film by Tran Anh Hung. It stars Lê Văn Lộc, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Trần Nữ Yên Khê. The film is about the hard lives of the labor force in early 1990s Ho Chi Minh City, and how people come under the influence of crime.

The film is considered hard to understand because of abstract and wordless communication. However, in a review, Janet Maslin asserted that this style, which is typical of the film director, makes the movie more memorable and successful.^[2] The film won the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice International Film Festival.^[3]
