The White Sheik (Italian: Lo sceicco bianco) is a 1952 semi-autobiographical film by Federico Fellini. It tells the story of a honeymooning couple in Rome: the bride is obsessed with "The White Sheik", the hero of a soap opera photo strip and sneaks off to find him.

The White Sheik was Fellini's second film. It failed with both critics and moviegoers and was a commercial flop.
