Le Roi des médiums, also known as Apparitions fantômatiques and known in English as King of the Mediums, was a 1909 French short silent film by Georges Méliès.

Méliès played a magician in the film.[1] It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1522-1529 in its catalogues, where it was advertised with the descriptive subtitle apparitions fantômatiques (ghostly apparitions).[1] The film has sometimes been referred to by this subtitle.[2]

No English-language release is known for this film,[1] but the translated title King of the Mediums has been used in film reference.[2] The film is currently presumed lost.[1]
