Excursion to the Moon ({{langx|fr|Excursion dans la lune}}) is a 1908 French silent trick film directed by Segundo de Chomón. The production was supervised by Ferdinand Zecca, designed by V. Lorant-Heilbronn, and released by Pathé Frères. The film is an unauthorized remake, and an almost shot-by-shot copy, of Georges Méliès's 1902 film A Trip to the Moon.{{citation|last=Solomon|first=Matthew|chapter=Introduction|pages=12–13|editor-last=Solomon|editor-first=Matthew|title=Fantastic Voyages of the Cinematic Imagination: Georges Méliès's Trip to the Moon|year=2011|publication-place=Albany|publisher=State University of New York Press|isbn=9781438435817|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YNQ0-MPMzG0C&pg=PA12}}

The film follows Méliès's scenario closely and includes many of its features, with some variations: for example, the Selenites are not vulnerable to umbrellas, but rather appear and disappear at will; the capsule lands inside the Man in the Moon's open mouth rather than hitting its eye; and the Selenite who returns to Earth is a "dancing moon-maiden" who is betrothed at the end of the film to one of the astronomers. This film has occasionally been misidentified as a work by Méliès.{{citation|first = Georges|last = Méliès|year = 2010|title = Georges Méliès: Encore|medium = DVD; short film collection|publisher = Flicker Alley|location = Los Angeles|isbn=978-1893967564}}

Of the film's 180 meters, 72 were colorized using a Pathé stencil process.
