Infection (感染, Kansen) is a 2004 Japanese horror film directed by Masayuki Ochiai.

The film was adapted from Ochiai's earlier screenplay from Tales of the Unusual. On its release, the film was part of the six-volume J-Horror Theater series.

On its release in Japan, it was the second highest grossing film at the weekend box office, only being beaten by I Robot.
