Riding Shotgun is a 1954 American western film directed by Andre de Toth and starring Randolph Scott, Wayne Morris and Joan Weldon.

The film was based on the short story "Riding Solo" by Kenneth Perkins, originally published in the September 1942 issue of Blue Book.

Stagecoach guard Larry Delong is ambushed by a gang of outlaws associated with Dan Marady, the man who murdered his sister and nephew.

When he returns to the town of Deep Water, Delong discovers that nearly everyone there believes he was involved in a holdup of the stage on which he had been the guard.

With no one other than Orissa Flynn, his sweetheart, and Doc Winkler heeding his warnings that Marady's men are coming to rob the town, Delong is forced to take refuge in a cantina.
