Percy (1971) is a British comedy film directed by Ralph Thomas starring Hywel Bennett, Denholm Elliott, Elke Sommer and Britt Ekland.

Percy (Bennett), an innocent and shy young man, is hit by a nude man falling from a high-rise building while carrying a chandelier. Percy's penis is mutilated in the accident and has to be amputated; the falling man is killed.

Percy becomes the recipient of the world's first penis transplant: he receives the very large, uncircumcised penis of the womanizer killed in the same accident. Percy follows the womanizer's footsteps, meeting all his women friends, before settling happily with the donor's mistreated widow.

The film is today remembered for its soundtrack by The Kinks. It was followed by a 1974 sequel, Percy's Progress.
