Ferry Cross the Mersey is a 1964 British musical film directed by Jeremy Summers and starring Gerry and the Pacemakers. It was written by David Franden from a story by Tony Warren.

The film tells the story of a group of art students as they humorously try to navigate the Liverpool beat scene. After the group enters a music competition, their instruments are misplaced but are ultimately found in time for them to take the stage and win the contest.

It is frequently considered to be Gerry and the Pacemakers' version of the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night.
