"Little Red Flowers" (zh-cp|c=看上去很美|p=Kàn shàng qù hén měi) is a 2006 Chinese film directed by Zhang Yuan. The film was a co-production between China's Beijing Century Good-Tidings Cultural Development Company LTD and Italy's Downtown Pictures. The Dutch company, Fortissimo Films handled worldwide sales.

The film, based on author Wang Shuo's semi-autobiographical novel, "Could Be Beautiful", follows a young four-year old boy, Fang Qiangqiang, at a kindergarten boarding school. Deposited into a world that demands conformity (rewarded by the titular little red flowers), Qiang suffers for his independence.

The film is Zhang's second adaptation of a novel by Wang, after 2003's "I Love You". [cite web|url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/film/168007.htm|title=Little Red Flowers|author=that's Beijing staff|publisher=that's Beijing|date = 2006-05-11| accessdate =2007-09-02]
