"Belleville Rendez-vous" is a song from the animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003), with music by Benoît Charest and lyrics by Sylvain Chomet. The song was performed "in character" in the film by Béatrice Bonifassi. The soundtrack album includes two versions of the song, one in French and the other in English, both performed by - M - (a.k.a. Matthieu Chedid). It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Song, and has been subsequently covered by the male duo The Lost Fingers and the female trio Rock Paper Scissors. Another version of the song entitled "maquette" or "demo" was also included in the soundtrack and sung by Béatrice Bonifassi who also provided the singing voice of the triplettes.

Belleville Rendez-vous is also the name given to the film Les Triplettes de Belleville in its UK release.
