Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? (released in the UK as Too Many Chefs) is a 1978 black comedy mystery film directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring George Segal, Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Morley. It is based on the 1976 novel Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe by Nan and Ivan Lyons.

In the film, a gourmet magazine publishes an article on its owner's favorite chefs. Shortly after its publication, two of the featured chefs are murdered in ways reminiscent of their specialties. A female chef and her ex-husband find out the order of the planned killings, and attempt to prevent the next ones. The female chef knows that she is the last person on the killer's list.
