Nosferatu is a 2024 American Gothic horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers. It is a remake of the film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), which was in turn inspired by Bram Stoker's novel Dracula (1897). It stars Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, and Willem Dafoe.

Development began in 2015, when Eggers planned to make it his second film; he described it as a passion project but eventually opted to delay its production. Skarsgård and Depp were cast in lead roles in September 2022. Filming took place primarily at Barrandov Studios in Prague between February and May 2023.

Nosferatu had its world premiere in Berlin on December 2, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States by Focus Features and internationally by Universal Pictures on December 25. The film received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, grossing $181.3 million worldwide on a $50 million budget, becoming Eggers' highest-grossing film. At the 97th Academy Awards, the film earned nominations for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
