Murphy's Romance is a 1985 romance/comedy major motion picture which tells the story of a divorced mother who moves to a small town, takes up a relationship with the town's druggist, and yet allows her ex-husband to move in with her at her home. It stars Sally Field, James Garner, Brian Kerwin and Corey Haim.

Sally Field had to fight the studio in order to cast Garner, who was viewed at that point as primarily a television actor despite having enjoyed a flourishing film career in the 1960s. The movie was adapted by Harriet Frank Jr. and Irving Ravetch from a story by Max Schott and directed by Martin Ritt. Filming took place on location in Florence, Arizona and the town's preserved Main Street appears throughout the movie.

Murphy's Romance received Academy Award nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role, (James Garner), in addition to Best Cinematography.
