The Lie (Swedish: Reservatet), is a 1970 Swedish television film directed by Jan Molander and written by Ingmar Bergman. Bergman wrote the script in 1968 with the name of "Reservatet: en banalitetens tragikomedi" (A tragicomedy of Banality). Although he didn't end up directing it, he later would tackle another relationship in a film with the same "Anna" and "Andreas" in the main roles: The Passion of Anna (1968).

The same script was also used for two english language television productions. A 1971 British version was directed by Alan Bridges and a 1973 American version was directed by Alex Segal, both which used the title The Lie.
