"The Reluctant Debutante" is a 1958 comedy film made by Avon Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was directed by Vincente Minnelli and produced by Pandro S. Berman from a screenplay by Julius J. Epstein and William Douglas-Home based on Douglas-Home's play. The music score was by Eddie Warner and the cinematography by Joseph Ruttenberg.

The film stars Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall, who had married in 1957 after together making "The Constant Husband" (1955), with John Saxon, Sandra Dee, and Angela Lansbury. The setting is London's debutante season amidst the last presentation at Court in 1958. However, because of Harrison's tax problems, the film had to be made in Paris.

The film was remade as "What a Girl Wants" (2003), with Amanda Bynes and Colin Firth.
