Two Living, One Dead (also known as Två Levande Och En Död) is a 1961 British-Swedish existentialist thriller film directed by Anthony Asquith and starring Patrick McGoohan, Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers.[1][2] It was written by Asquith and Lindsay Galloway.

The film is a remake of the 1937 Norwegian film To levende og en død, which in turn was adapted from the novel of the same name by author Sigurd Christiansen.[3] The Scandinavian small-town setting of the earlier film was kept but the action was moved to Sweden.
