Death Saved My Life is a 2021 American thriller television film directed by Seth Jarrett with a screenplay written by Barbara Kymlicka and starring Meagan Good, Chiké Okonkwo, and La'Myia Good. A part of Lifetime's "Ripped from the Headlines" feature film series, it tells the story of a successful marketer who fakes her own death after her controlling, abusive husband hires a hitman to kill her when she decides to leave him. It is inspired by the story of Noela Rukundo, who survived after her husband paid for hitmen to kill her and confronted him at her own funeral.

After being filmed primarily in Haddonfield, New Jersey and other locations throughout New Jersey, Death Saved My Life premiered on the Lifetime network on February 13, 2021.
