Eugene Onegin is 1959 Soviet opera film, produced by Lenfilm Studio, directed by Roman Tikhomirov, starring Vadim Medvedev, Igor Ozerov and Ariadna Shengelaya. The film is a screen version of the famous 1879 opera Eugene Onegin by Pyotr Tchaikovsky based on the 1825-1832 novel in verse by Alexander Pushkin. The principal solo parts were performed by notable opera singers of the Bolshoi Theatre.

Eugene Onegin is a well-known example of lyric opera; the libretto very closely follows Pushkin's original, retaining much of his poetry, to which Tchaikovsky adds music of a dramatic nature. The story concerns a selfish hero who lives to regret his blasé rejection of a young woman's love and his careless incitement of a fatal duel with his best friend.
