Hobson's Choice (sh. Hobsonov izbor), na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije poznat i pod naslovom Hobson u neprilici, je britanski igrani film snimljen 1954. u režiji Davida Leana. Po žanru predstavlja kombinaciju drame i romantične komedije, a temelji se na istoimenom teatarskom komadu Harolda Brighousea. Radnja je smještena u viktorijansko predgrađe Manchestera, a naslovni protagonist je alkoholu skloni vlasnik postolarske radnje (koga tumači Charles Laughton), a čija se kćer (koju tumači Brenda de Banzie) protiv njegove volje udaje za mladog postolara (koga tumači John Mills). Hobson's Choice je predstavljao veliki uspjeh za Davida Leana, donijevši mu niz prestižnih nagrada, uključujući Zlatni medvjed osvojen na Berlinskom festivalu.
