Les Indésirables (French pronunciation: [lez‿ɛ̃deziʁabl]; French: Bâtiment 5) is a French drama film, directed by Ladj Ly and released in 2023. The film stars Alexis Manenti as Pierre, a young doctor who is appointed mayor of a working-class suburb of Paris following the former mayor's death, and Anta Diaw as Haby, a young woman living in a tower block in the city who becomes an activist for the "undesirables" who may be driven out by Pierre's vow to clean up and gentrify the community.

Its cast also includes Jeanne Balibar, Steve Tientcheu, Aristote Luyindula and Valentin Pradier.
