Dating the Enemy is a 1996 Australian romantic comedy film written and directed by Megan Simpson Huberman, starring Claudia Karvan and Guy Pearce. It tells the story of a male-female couple in Sydney who swap bodies and have to live each other's lives, learning about life as the other gender and to more fully empathise with each other.

The film was a success upon release and has become a cult classic in subsequent years, gaining some recognition as a film that indirectly deals with transgender issues.[1] In 2024, it was restored by cinematographer Steve Arnold and reissued on Blu-ray by Umbrella Entertainment, with new artwork by New Yorker artist Margalit Cutler.
