Broken Lance is a 1954 American Western film directed by Edward Dmytryk and produced by Sol C. Siegel.

The film stars Spencer Tracy, Robert Wagner, Jean Peters, Richard Widmark and Katy Jurado.

Shot in Technicolor and CinemaScope, the film is a remake of House of Strangers, with the Phillip Yordan screenplay (based on the novel, I'll Never Go There Any More, by Jerome Weidman) transplanted out West, featuring Tracy in the original Edward G. Robinson role, this time as a cowboy cattle baron rather than an Italian banker in New York City.

Although they manage the day-to-day operations of the ranch and other enterprises full time, Matt still retains complete authority, right down to the smallest decisions, angering his eldest son.

Joe pleads for leniency toward his errant brothers, but an outraged Matt banishes them, later reluctantly taking them back into the family when a crisis arises.

To spare his father the agony and humiliation of a stay behind bars, Joe claims responsibility and is sentenced to three years in prison.

Joe is permitted to leave prison long enough to attend his father's funeral, during which he formally severs his ties with his brothers and proclaims a blood feud.

The New York Times reviewer A.H. Weiler wrote, "Although the saga of the self-made, autocratic cattle baron… is familiar film fare, Broken Lance… makes a refreshingly serious and fairly successful attempt to understand these towering men...[T]he rugged, vast and beautiful terrain of the Southwest is impressive and pleasing in the colors and CinemaScope in which it was filmed.
