Benaam (lit.'Nameless') is a 1974 Bollywood thriller film directed and co-written by Narendra Bedi. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Moushumi Chatterjee and Prem Chopra. Madan Puri appears in a different role. The core plot loosely resembles Alfred Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).

The film was remade in Kannada as Thirugu Baana with Ambarish and Aarati reprising the roles played by Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee.
