The Mighty Celt is a 2005 drama film set in Northern Ireland, written and directed by Pearse Elliott. It stars Gillian Anderson, Robert Carlyle, Sean McGinley, Ken Stott and Tyrone McKenna. It is centred around greyhound racing in a Catholic community after the intercommunal "Troubles" have ended but where their legacy remains strong.

The film's title is based on the name of a comic book shown in the movie.[citation needed]
