Cleo from 5 to 7 (Cléo de 5 à 7) is a 1962 French Left Bank film directed and written by Agnes Varda. The story begins with a young singer and hypochondriac, Florence "Cléo" Victoire, and takes place over two hours from 17:00h to 19:00h on the longest day of the year. Florence Victoire, whose stage name is Cléo Victoire (as in Cleopatra), is a singer with three hit singles to her name and some popularity. At 5 pm on June 21st, she becomes increasingly worried as she waits until 6:30 pm to receive the results of a medical test from her doctor that will possibly confirm a diagnosis of cancer. Her state of mind affects how she approaches the day, from her encounters with friends and acquaintances to what she observes in total strangers around her.

The film is regarded for its handling the themes of existentialism, including discussions of mortality, the idea of despair, and leading a meaningful life. The film also has a powerful feminine viewpoint belonging to French feminism which raises questions about how women are perceived, especially in French society. Mirrors appear regularly to symbolize self-obsession, which Cléo embodies.

The film has cameos by Jean-Luc Godard, Anna Karina, Eddie Constantine and Jean-Claude Brialy as characters in the silent film Raoul shows Cléo and Dorothée, while composer Michel Legrand, who wrote the film's score, plays "Bob the pianist". It was entered into the Cannes Film Festival in 1962.
