Enola Holmes is a 2020 mystery film starring Millie Bobby Brown as the title character, the teenage sister of the already famous Victorian-era detective Sherlock Holmes (portrayed by Henry Cavill) and government official Mycroft Holmes (portrayed by Sam Claflin). The film is directed by Harry Bradbeer from a screenplay by Jack Thorne that adapts the first novel in The Enola Holmes Mysteries series by Nancy Springer.

Filming began in July 2019. Originally planned for a cinematic release by Warner Bros. Pictures, the distribution rights to the film were picked up by Netflix due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It became one of the most-watched original Netflix film releases, with an estimated 76 million households watching the film over its first four weeks.
