The Beguiled is a 1971 American Southern Gothic psychological thriller film directed by Donald Siegel, starring Clint Eastwood, Geraldine Page and Elizabeth Hartman. The script was written by Albert Maltz and is based on the 1966 novel written by Thomas P. Cullinan, originally titled A Painted Devil. The film marks the third of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following Coogan's Bluff (1968) and Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970), and continuing with Dirty Harry (1971) and Escape from Alcatraz (1979).

The film is set during the Civil War and follows a wounded Union soldier who is reluctantly taken into care at a girls' school in Confederate territory.
