Dog on Trial (French: Le Procès du chien), previously known as Who Let the Dog Bite?, is a 2024 Swiss-French comedy film co-written and directed by Laetitia Dosch, in her directorial debut. It stars Dosch as a lawyer who defends a dog on trial. It is loosely based on a real case in France involving a dog that was biting strangers.

It had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on 19 May 2024, where lead animal actor Kodi won the Palm Dog Award.
