Batang PX (English: "Fil-American Kid") is a 1997 Filipino drama film written and directed by Jose Javier Reyes.

It also stars Edu Manzano, Nida Blanca, Anna Larrucea, Piolo Pascual, and Cherry Pie Picache.

Produced and released by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on May 7, 1997, and it earned several awards and nominations from different award-giving bodies and was also responsible for bringing Patrick Garcia to stardom.
