Sleeping Beauty is a 2011 Australian erotic psychological drama film written and directed by Julia Leigh in her directorial debut, and starring Emily Browning, Rachael Blake, Ewen Leslie, Peter Carroll, and Chris Haywood. The film follows Lucy, a young female university student who takes up a part-time high-paying job with a mysterious group that caters to rich men and women who like the company of nude sleeping young women.

The Sleeping Beauty script made the 2008 Black List of unproduced screenplays grabbing attention in Hollywood. In September 2009 the project was approved for funding from Screen Australia.

In February 2010 it was announced that Emily Browning would play the lead role of Lucy. Mia Wasikowska was originally cast in the part, but dropped out when offered the title role in an adaptation of Jane Eyre.

Principal photography on the film began on 3 April 2010, at University of Sydney, Camperdown and downtown Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
