The Fox is a 1967 Canadian drama film directed by Mark Rydell. The screenplay by Lewis John Carlino and Howard Koch is loosely based on the 1923 novella of the same title by D. H. Lawrence. The film marked Rydell's feature film directorial debut.

The Fox: Directed by Mark Rydell. With Sandy Dennis, Anne Heywood, Keir Dullea, Glynne Morris. Two women, Jill and Ellen, struggle with a chicken farm. Paul Grenfell returns, restores order, and proposes to Ellen. Jill's manipulations awaken Ellen's dormant homosexuality, leading them to become lovers.

Based on the short story "The Fox" by David Herbert Lawrence in Dial (May--Aug 1922). On a desolate, snowbound Canadian farm, Jill Banford and Ellen March struggle to make their living by raising chickens.

Departing from the original setting in D.H. Lawrence’s story, director Mark Rydell decided to shoot on location during a Canadian winter. The delicately constructed atmosphere of cold and snow, of early sunsets and chill lingering in the corners, establishes the tone. This will be a film about love, but not about passion.
