Waterland is a 1992 British-American mystery drama film directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal, and starring Jeremy Irons, Sinéad Cusack, Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey and Pete Postlethwaite. It is based on Graham Swift's 1983 novel of the same name. The film moved the contemporary location of the novel from England to Pittsburgh and eliminated many of the extensive historical asides.

The film was shot in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as well as parts of the UK including East Anglia, London and at Twickenham Film Studios. Part of the film was filmed at Doddington Place Gardens, near Faversham. The Victorian mansion was used as the ancestral home to Tom Crick.

The music score, available on CD, is by Carter Burwell.
