The Accidental Spy (Chinese: 特務迷城; pinyin: Tè Wù Mí Chéng; Jyutping: Dak6 Mou6 Mai4 Sing4) is a 2001 Hong Kong martial arts action film starring Jackie Chan, produced by Chan and Raymond Chow, and directed by Teddy Chan. Filming took place in Seoul, Hong Kong, Istanbul and Cappadocia, Turkey.

Although it is a Hong Kong film, much of the dialogue is in English, particularly during communications between the Hong Kong characters and the Korean and Turkish characters. Despite being an adventure-thriller, it features moments of humour, as is typical of Chan's films.

The film was nominated for the Best Action Choreography, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Design in the 21st Hong Kong Film Awards, and won in former two categories.^[1] It was also nominated the Best Action Choreography in the 38th Golden Horse Awards.
