Caddyshack is a 1980 American Sports comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and written by Brian Doyle-Murray, Ramis and Douglas Kenney. It stars Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, Michael O'Keefe, and Bill Murray. Doyle-Murray also has a supporting role.

This was Ramis' first feature film and was a major boost to Dangerfield's film career; previously, he was known mostly for his stand-up comedy. Grossing almost $40 million in the U.S. alone (16th highest of the year), it was the first of a series of similar comedies. A sequel, Caddyshack II, followed in 1988, although it was not nearly as successful or well-received.

As of 2010, Caddyshack has been televised on the Golf Channel as one of its "Movies That Make The Cut".

Danny Noonan (Michael O'Keefe) works at the upscale Bushwood Country Club as he tries to raise enough money to go to college since his parents cannot afford it and his grades were unremarkable in high school. Danny caddies for Ty Webb (Chevy Chase), the free-spirited playboy son of one of Bushwood's co-founders, as Ty teaches Danny about the finer points in life usually while showing off random trick shots. One day, Danny decides to caddy for Judge Elihu Smails (Ted Knight), the country club's stodgy co-founder, in hopes of earning his favor and the next Caddy Scholarship, a cash award Smails controls. Smails' golfing group includes Dr. Beeper (Dan Resin), Bishop Fred Pickering (Henry Wilcoxon), and Smails' obnoxious grandson, Spaulding (John F. Barmon Jr.). They are also joined by Smails' sensuous niece, Lacey Underall (Cindy Morgan), who is visiting for the summer. Meanwhile, Sandy McFiddish (Thomas A. Carlin), Bushwood's head greenskeeper, entrusts his assistant Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) to remove a gopher digging tunnels underneath the course.
