Red Cockroaches (Spanish: Cucarachas Rojas) is a 2003 Cuban–American science fiction drama film written, directed and produced by Miguel Coyula in his feature debut. Produced over a two-year period on a reported budget of $2,000, the film was shot on consumer digital video and edited on a home computer. It has frequently been cited as an example of early 21st-century DIY and micro-budget digital cinema.

The film is the first installment in a thematic trilogy continued by Blue Heart (2021).
