The Baltimore Bullet is a 1980 American comedy film based on the adventures of two pool hustlers in the United States.

It was directed by Robert Ellis Miller and starred James Coburn, Omar Sharif, Bruce Boxleitner and Ronee Blakley. The screenplay was written by film and stage dancer John Brascia, from a story by Brascia and Robert Vincent O'Neil. Brascia also produced the film.
