My Breakfast with Blassie is a 1983 film starring Andy Kaufman and professional wrestler "Classy" Freddie Blassie.{{cite web|archivedate=May 15, 2009|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090515104439/https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/34001/My-Breakfast-With-Blassie/overview|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/movie/34001/My-Breakfast-With-Blassie/overview|department=Movies & TV Dept.|work=The New York Times|author=Eleanor Mannikka|date=2009|title=My Breakfast with Blassie|url-status=dead}}

The film is a mostly improvised parody of the art film My Dinner with Andre and is set in a Hollywood Sambo's restaurant where Kaufman and Blassie have a discussion over breakfast. Lynne Margulies, who would later become Kaufman's girlfriend, plays a role. Also featured is Bob Zmuda, who plays a nosy fan.

My Breakfast with Blassie was conceived of by Linda Lautrec and Johnny Legend as a satire on My Dinner with Andre. Linda Lautrec and Andy Kaufman loosely scripted the film over several months late at night on the telephone. Linda's dual role (as director and actress) was scripted as an irritating fan who requests Andy's autograph after he washes his hands.

My Breakfast with Blassie is referenced in the R.E.M. song and tribute to Kaufman, "Man on the Moon".{{cite web |last1=Timmons |first1=John |title=Today's ear X-tacy: R.E.M.
