A Special Day (Una giornata particolare) is a 1977 Italian drama directed by Ettore Scola and starring Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and John Vernon. Set in Rome in 1938, its narrative follows a woman and her neighbor who stay home the day Adolf Hitler visits Benito Mussolini.  It is an Italian-Canadian co-production.

Themes addressed in the film include gender roles, fascism, and the persecution of homosexuals under the Mussolini regime. It received several nominations and awards, including a César Award for best Foreign Film, a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, and two Academy Award nominations in 1978.
