The Mouse on the Moon is a 1963 British comedy film, an adaptation of the novel The Mouse on the Moon by Irish author Leonard Wibberley. It was directed by Richard Lester and served as the sequel to "The Mouse That Roared". In it, the people of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, an isolated mountain microstate, attempt space flight using wine as a propellant. It satirises the space race, Cold War and politics.

It starred Margaret Rutherford, Ron Moody, June Ritchie, Bernard Cribbins, and Terry-Thomas instead of Peter Sellers, who refused to do the film. David Kossoff repeats his role as Professor Kokintz.

The film was made on sets left over from Cornel Wilde's film "Sword of Lancelot". Sellers recommended Lester, who he knew from his direction of "The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film", as director. Producer Walter Shenson and director Lester next made The Beatles film "A Hard Day's Night".

In addition to the same satire as the book, the film begins with a spoof of the British Changing of the Guard.

The film had its American premiere at Cape Canaveral, where the attending cast members met American astronauts. Dell Publishing issued an American comic book of the film.
