'La Guirlande merveilleuse', sold in the United States as 'The Marvellous Wreath' and in Britain as 'The Marvellous Hoop', is a 1903 French short silent film by Georges Mlis. It was sold by Mlis's Star Film Company and is numbered 445448 in its catalogues.

Mlis plays the musketeer in the film, the main special effect of which is a closeup superimposed into a circular opening by multiple exposure; Mlis used a similar effect in 'Alcofrisbas, the Master Magician' later that year. Other special effects in 'The Marvellous Wreath' are worked using pyrotechnics, substitution splices, and dissolves.
