Fear No Evil is a 1981 American supernatural horror film directed by Frank LaLoggia, and starring Stefan Arngrim, Elizabeth Hoffman, and Kathleen Rowe McAllen. Its plot involves a seventeen-year-old student in 1980 realizing that he is the Antichrist, and his subsequent battle with two female-incarnate archangels.

Fear No Evil was the directorial debut of LaLoggia, who personally raised $150,000 of the film's budget. Principal photography took place on location in and around LaLoggia's hometown of Rochester, New York in the late summer and fall of 1979. The film was acquired for distribution by Avco Embassy Pictures, who released it theatrically on January 16, 1981. It received mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $3 million at the United States box office. The film won the award for Best Low-Budget Film at the 9th Saturn Awards in 1982.
