Being There is a 1979 American satirical comedy-drama film starring Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, and Melvyn Douglas.

The film concerns a simple-minded and heavily sheltered gardener who explores the outside world after his wealthy employer dies and is mistaken for a brilliant political pundit.
