"Blue Hawaii" is a 1961 American musical romantic comedy-drama film starring Elvis Presley. The screenplay by Hal Kanter was nominated by the Writers Guild of America in 1962 in the category of Best Written American Musical. The film opened at number two in box-office receipts for that week and, despite mixed reviews from critics, finished as the 10th top-grossing film of 1961 earning $5 million.

The plot follows Chadwick "Chad" Gates, who has just been released from the Army and is eager to return to Hawaii with his surfboard, his native Hawaiian beach friends, and his mixed-race girlfriend Maile Duval. His mother, Sarah Lee, wants him to follow in his father's footsteps and take over management at the Great Southern Hawaiian Fruit Company, the family business, but Chad is reluctant and goes to work as a tour guide at his girlfriend's agency. After various romantic misunderstandings and adventures, Chad and Maile form their own tourism business, Gates of Hawaii, and begin arrangements to provide tourist services for his father's large network of fruit salesmen in the U.S. and Canada. The film ends with Chad's and Maile's lavish outdoor wedding.

Blue Hawaii was the first of three Elvis films shot in Hawaii.
