A Man Astray (German: Ein Mann auf Abwegen) is a 1940 German comedy adventure film directed by Herbert Selpin and starring Hans Albers, Charlotte Thiele and Hilde Weissner. The film is an adaptation of the 1938 novel Percy auf Abwegen by Hans Zehrer. The sets were designed by the art directors Paul Markwitz and Fritz Maurischat. Shooting took place at the Halensee Studios in Berlin and the Bavaria Studios in Munich, with additional location shooting around Lake Starnberg in Bavaria.
