The Angry Silence is a 1960 black-and-white British drama film directed by Guy Green and starring Richard Attenborough, Pier Angeli, Michael Craig and Bernard Lee.

The film marked the first release through screenwriter Bryan Forbes's production venture, Beaver Films, and Forbes won a BAFTA Award for Best British Screenplay at the 14th British Academy Film Awards and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay at the 33rd Academy Awards for his contribution (shared with original story writers Michael Craig and Richard Gregson). Green called it a "landmark" in his career.
