Cardillac is a 1969 West German drama film directed by Edgar Reitz, starring Hans-Christian Blech and Catana Cayetano.

It tells the story of a goldsmith who is so obsessed with his own craft that he murders his customers.

The film is a modern adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's novella Mademoiselle de Scuderi.
