Mistaken Identity (French: Erreur sur la personne), also sometimes billed as Mistaken Person, is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Gilles Noël and released in 1996.[1]

The film stars Michel Côté as Charles Renard, a police officer returning to work for the first time since being left hearing impaired by a bullet wound to the head. He is assigned to investigate Maria (Macha Grenon), an actress who is robbing men to finance a stage production of August Strindberg's Miss Julie.[2] The film's cast also includes Paul Doucet, Marie-Andrée Corneille, Robert Gravel, Paul Savoie and Luc Picard.

At the 17th Genie Awards, Corneille was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.[3]
