Olympic Garage (Spanish: Garage Olimpo) is a 1999 Argentine-French-Italian historical-political thriller film cowritten and directed by Marco Bechis and starring Antonella Costa, Carlos Echevarría, Enrique Piñeyro, Chiara Caselli and Dominique Sanda. It was produced by Bechis and Piñeyro (from Argentina) with Amedeo Pagani (from Italy) and Eric Heumann (from France). Executive producers were Daniel Burman and Diego Dubcovsky.

The story centers on a young and politically active Argentine woman who is kidnapped Argentina's last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983) during the late 1970s. "Garage Olimpo" is the name of the illegal detention-and-torture center where she is taken, in the middle of Buenos Aires.
