California Suite is a 1978 American anthology comedy film directed by Herbert Ross and written by Neil Simon, based on his 1976 stage play of the same name. Similar in format to Simon's earlier work Plaza Suite, the film follows four separate stories involving guests staying in a luxury hotel suite in Beverly Hills.

California Suite received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Simon, with Maggie Smith winning Best Supporting Actress. Smith also received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and the film was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
