A Patch of Fog is a 2015 British thriller film directed by Michael Lennox starring Stephen Graham and Conleth Hill, set in Belfast. It was screened in the Discovery section of the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

A famous author, Sandy Duffy (Conleth Hill), wrote his well-known and only novel, "A Patch of Fog" nearly 25 years ago. Sandy is now a university lecturer and talk-show personality with co-host Lucy (Lara Pulver), who is also Sandy's girlfriend. Still riding the success of his only publication, Sandy has developed a shoplifting addiction and gets caught by a security guard, Robert Green (Stephen Graham).

Robert detains Sandy, shows him the CCTV footage, and threatens to call the police. Sandy pleads with Robert, and Robert agrees not to call the police if Sandy goes for a drink with him. They force an awkward conversation. As Sandy gets ready to leave, Robert reminds him that he still has the copy of the shoplifting footage. They agree to meet that weekend for another drink, at which point Robert will turn over the disk containing the video.
