Lázaro at Night (Spanish: Lázaro de noche) is a Canadian-Mexican docufiction film, directed by Nicolás Pereda and released in 2024. Made in conjunction with the Mexican theatre collective Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol, the film centres on Lázaro Rodríguez, Luisa Pardo and Francisco Barreiro, three actors in the collective who become embroiled in a love triangle while auditioning for roles in a film, while being forced to evaluate their own personal lives due to the director's unorthodox casting methods.

The film premiered in June 2024 at the Marseille Festival of Documentary Film, and had its North American premiere in the Wavelengths program at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
