"The Fixer" is a 1968 film based on the 1966 semi-biographical novel of the same name, written by Bernard Malamud. Like the book, the film has for its main character a Yakov Bok, a Jew living in the Russian Empire, who was unjustly imprisoned based on antisemitic prejudice and the charge of having committing blood libel. It was based on the incidents of the Beilis Trial in 1913, in which Menahem Mendel Beilis was wrongly accused of having murdered a Ukrainian boy named Andrei Yushchinsky, with blood libel being presented as the alleged motivation.

The film stars Alan Bates, Dirk Bogarde, Georgia Brown, Hugh Griffith, Elizabeth Hartman, Ian Holm, David Opatoshu and David Warner. It was directed by John Frankenheimer and adapted from Bernard Malamud's novel by Dalton Trumbo.

It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Alan Bates).
