Excursion to the Moon (French: Excursion dans la lune) is a 1908 French silent film directed by Segundo de Chomón. The production was supervised by Ferdinand Zecca, designed by V. Lorant-Heilbronn, and released by Pathé Frères. The film is an unauthorized remake, and an almost shot-by-shot copy, of Georges Méliès's 1902 film A Trip to the Moon.

The film follows Méliès's scenario closely and includes many of its features, with some variations: for example, the Selenites are not vulnerable to umbrellas, but rather appear and disappear at will; the capsule lands inside the Man in the Moon's open mouth rather than hitting its eye; and the Selenite who returns to Earth is a "dancing moon-maiden" who is betrothed at the end of the film to one of the astronomers. This film has occasionally been misidentified as a work by Méliès.

Of the film's 180 meters, 72 were colorized using a Pathé stencil process.

As baggage is checked in, that baggage moves by itself to a room where it opens itself, revealing lots of brushes that now move out. A man and a woman sit down. Then the man's boot unbuckles by itself. With the boot off, a brush moves itself up and down on the front end. The woman's coat comes off by itself, followed by the woman's hair receiving a thorough brushing - also by itself - and subsequently her hair ties itself into a bun. Following those actions is a scene of a man in front of a wall full of electrical switches. As he pulls one large switch down, the scene cuts to various chairs and other furniture moving in chaotic ways as the short ends.

Deux hommes et une femme cheminent dans un bois et sont surpris par un orage. Ils se réfugient dans une maison isolée tandis que des éclairs zèbrent le ciel (par le procédé de l'arrêt de caméra avec apparition et disparition d'éclairs peints. Dès qu'ils sont entrés, la maison affiche un faciès anthropomorphique qui riboule des yeux (comme la Lune de Georges Méliès).
