"The Guy for This" is the third episode of the fifth season of the AMC television series Better Call Saul, a spin-off series of Breaking Bad. The episode aired on March 2, 2020, on AMC in the United States. Outside of the United States, the episode premiered on the streaming service Netflix in several countries.

The episode centers on Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) being forced to use his fast-talking "Saul Goodman" legal personality to arrange for the release of Domingo Molina (Max Arciniega) from prison at the request of Lalo Salamanca (Tony Dalton), while Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) is pulled off her pro bono public defense work to deal with a stubborn client for the Mesa Verde bank. The episode features the guest appearance of Breaking Bad star Dean Norris reprising his role as Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent Hank Schrader, along with Steven Michael Quezada as Hank's partner Steven Gomez. Showrunner Peter Gould brought the character of Hank back to help drive the transformation of Jimmy into Saul.
