Den Osynlige
''The Invisible'' () is a 2002 Swedish film directed by Joel Bergvall and Simon Sandquist, very loosely based on Mats Wahl's book of the same name.

The film stars Gustaf Skarsgård, Tuva Novotny and Thomas Hedengran in the leads. An American remake was released under the same title on April 27, 2007.
