A Novice at X-Rays (French: Les Rayons X; Les Rayons Roentgen) was an 1898 French short silent film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 142 in its catalogues.[1]

It may have been inspired by The X-Rays, an 1897 British film by the pioneering showman G. A. Smith, which in turn was likely partly inspired by previous films by Méliès.[2] A Novice at X-Rays is currently presumed lost.[1]
