Thank You, I'm Fine (German: Danke, es geht mir gut) is a 1948 German comedy film directed by Erich Waschneck and starring Ernst von Klipstein, Karin Hardt, and Sonja Ziemann. It is also known by the title A Lovely Family (German: Eine reizende Familie).

It was produced towards the end of the Second World War by the independent company Berlin Film. Left unfinished, it was finally completed by the Communist-controlled DEFA studio in the Soviet Zone and put on general release across Germany. It was one of a number of films of the Nazi era that had delayed releases in the years after the fall of the regime.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Heinrich Beisenherz and Alfred Bütow.
