### Unfinished films

Unfinished film credits of Alain Delon :
| Year | Title | Role | Notes | Ref(s) |
| 1962 | God's Chessboard (French: L'Échiquier de Dieu) | Marco Polo | The project, titled L'Échiquier de Dieu (English: God's Chessboard), materialized in 1962 with Christian-Jaque as director, Alain Delon in the role of Marco Polo, Dorothy Dandridge as Empress Zaire, and Jean Marais in the role of the father. Filming was interrupted due to inadequate financial production and trouble casting secondary roles. A new production resumed filming in 1963, with Denys de La Patellière and Noël Howard as the directors while the role of Marco Polo was given to German actor Horst Buchholz, who, at the time, was considered a rival of Alain Delon. The film, now titled La Fabuleuse Aventure de Marco Polo (or Marco the Magnificent), was released in 1965. According to Christian-Jaque, none of his scenes were retained in the final release. | |
| 1970 | Die Boss, Die Gently (French: Crève patron, crève tranquille, Italian: Crepa padrone, crepa tranquillo) | Mercenary | An abandoned Italian and French co-production about mercenaries in Africa starring Delon and James Mason, and directed by Jacques Deray and Piero Schivazappa. | |
