Ulzana's Raid is a 1972 American revisionist Western film starring Burt Lancaster, Richard Jaeckel, Bruce Davison, and Joaquin Martinez. Filmed on location in Arizona, it was directed by Robert Aldrich based on a script by Alan Sharp. It portrays a brutal raid by Chiricahua Apaches against American settlers in 1880s Arizona.

The bleak and nihilistic tone of U.S. troops chasing an elusive, merciless enemy has been seen as allegory to the United States' participation in the Vietnam War.
