Brotherhood of the Wolf, also known by its French title Le Pacte des loups (literally "The Pact of the Wolves"), is a 2001 French movie directed by Christophe Gans, starring Samuel Le Bihan, Vincent Cassel, Monica Bellucci, Émilie Dequenne and Mark Dacascos, and written by Gans and Stéphane Cabel.

The film is loosely based on a real-life series of killings that took place in France in the 18th century and on the famous legend around the Beast of Gévaudan. Parts of the movie were filmed at Château de Roquetaillade.

Being a historical/drama/horror movie, it has anachronistic martial arts fight sequences; it also contains elements of erotica, mystery and fantasy.

It became the second-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States in the last two decades.
