Nainen katoaa (The Lady Vanishes) on Alfred Hitchcockin ohjaama brittiläinen jännityselokuvan klassikko vuodelta 1938. Se oli niin yleisö- kuin arvostelumenestys. Se on myös yksi Hitchcockin kaikkein humoristisimmista jännityselokuvista – vain Mutta kuka murhasi Harryn? (1955) pääsee huumorin määrässä sen tasolle. Elokuvan edetessä huumori vaihtuu perinteisen jännityselokuvaan.Nainen katoaa -elokuvan perusidea on yksinkertainen: nainen katoaa junassa ja vain yksi henkilö muistaa hänet. Kaikki muut matkustajat väittävät omista syistään, ettei kyseistä naista ole junassa ollutkaan. Samaa aihetta on sittemmin matkittu lukuisia kertoja, mutta yksikään ei ole yltänyt Hitchcockin elokuvan tasolle.Nainen katoaa oli Britanniassa ja Yhdysvalloissa Hitchcockin siihen astisista elokuvista menestynein. Sen ansiosta hän sai neuvotelluksi David O. Selznickin kanssa hyvän sopimuksen ja muutti Yhdysvaltoihin.
