Dennis the Menace (released in the United Kingdom as Dennis to avoid confusion with Dennis the Menace and Gnasher) is a 1993 American comedy film based on the Hank Ketcham comic strip. It is directed by Nick Castle, written and co-produced by John Hughes and distributed by Warner Bros. under its Family Entertainment label.

The plot concerns the misadventures of a mischievous child (Mason Gamble) who menaces his next door neighbor George Wilson (Walter Matthau), usually hangs out with his friends Joey McDonald (Kellen Hathaway) and Margaret Wade (Amy Sakasitz), and is followed everywhere by his dog Ruff. Jeannie Russell, who plays Margaret in the 1959–1963 TV series, makes a cameo appearance.

Released in the United States on June 25, 1993, the film was a commercial success, grossing $117.2 million on a $35 million budget. Critical reviews were generally negative. A direct-to-video standalone sequel called Dennis the Menace Strikes Again was released in 1998 with a new cast. A second sequel, A Dennis the Menace Christmas, was released in 2007 with a third cast.
