I Am a Sex Addict is a 2005 autobiographical comedy film by American independent director and screenwriter Caveh Zahedi. Presented in semi-documentary style, the film chronicles Zahedi's own sex addiction and its impact on his life, relationships, and film making. His addiction was manifested by visiting prostitutes, and being open about this with his successive partners.

The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and was subsequently picked up for distribution by IFC Films. It aired on The Movie Channel and Showtime in 2007, and subsequently has been shown on the Sundance Channel in the United States.

Though not formal sequels, but in chronological order; his 2001 film In the Bathtub of the World documents his life from where I Am a Sex Addict ends and his 2015 web series The Show About The Show continues 15 year later from where the latter ends.
