Bama Vijayam (/bɑːmɑː viəjəm/ transl. Bama's visit) is a 1967 Indian Tamil-language comedy film directed by K. Balachander. The film features an ensemble cast including Sowcar Janaki, Rajasree, Kanchana, Jayanthi, Sachu, R. Muthuraman, Nagesh, Major Sundarrajan, Srikanth and T. S. Balaiah. It revolves around a man's three daughters-in-law who go to absurd lengths to impress an actress who becomes their neighbour.

Bama Vijayam was simultaneously filmed in Telugu as Bhale Kodallu with a slightly different cast. It was released on 24 February 1967, and won the Chennai Film Fans' Association Award for Best Film. The film was later remade in Hindi as Teen Bahuraniyan (1968), with Janaki, Kanchana and Jayanthi reprising their roles. In 1998, it was remade into Malayalam as Sreekrishnapurathe Nakshathrathilakkam.
