R.I.P.D.: Rest in Peace Department, or simply R.I.P.D., is a 2013 American supernatural action comedy film starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. The film was directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi based on the 1999 comic book R.I.P.D. by Peter M. Lenkov. The film also stars Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stéphanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller.

Filming was completed on January 28, 2012, and the film was originally set to be released on June 28, 2013 in the United States by Universal Pictures, but was pushed back to July 19, 2013.

The film was a box-office bomb, grossing $78.3 million on a $130‒154 million budget, and was panned by critics. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 29, 2013. A direct-to-video prequel, R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned, was released on November 15, 2022.
