A Whale for the Killing is a 1981 film, loosely based on a true story by environmentalist Farley Mowat, about a whale that is tortured by a fisherman.

The later Canadian singer Alan Doyle starred as a boy on a bridge in the movie. In 2012 he released his solo album Boy on Bridge which paid tribute to the role.
