Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo is a 1977 American sports adventure comedy film directed by Vincent McEveety and written by Arthur Alsberg and Don Nelson. The film is the third installment in the Herbie film series and the sequel to Herbie Rides Again (1974). In the film, Dean Jones returns as champion race car driver Jim Douglas (reprising his role from The Love Bug, the first film in the series), as he and Herbie, his sentient Volkswagen Beetle race car, come out of retirement. The two are joined this time by somewhat cynical and eccentric riding mechanic Wheely Applegate (Don Knotts). The film follows Douglas, Herbie and Applegate as they participate in the fictional Trans-France Race, a road race from Paris, France, to Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo received mixed reviews from critics and earned $28 million in the US and Canada during its initial theatrical run. It was followed by a third sequel titled Herbie Goes Bananas (1980).
