Tar Angel (French: L'Ange de goudron) is a Canadian drama film, released in 2001.

The film's cast also includes Hiam Abbass, Catherine Trudeau, Kenza Abiabdillah, Marc Beaupré, Raymond Cloutier, François Papineau and Maude Guérin.
The film premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival in 2001 and won the award for Best Canadian Film.
