El pasajero clandestino (Catalan: El passatger clandestí) is a 1995 French-Spanish dramatic independent underground television art film directed by Agustí Villaronga. It is adapted from the Georges Simenon novel of the same name and has a runtime of 96 minutes. It is a part of Cycle Simenon.

Contents

The film was made in the French language and dubs in Castilian Spanish and Catalan were made. The actors and actresses in the film originated from various countries.

Another film adaptation of the same book, titled The Stowaway, was released in 1958.
