The Bandits of the Rio Grande (German: Die Banditen vom Rio Grande) is a 1965 West German western film directed by Helmuth M. Backhaus and starring Harald Leipnitz, Maria Perschy and Wolfgang Kieling. The film's sets were designed by the art director Nino Borghi. It was shot on location around Yugoslavia and in studios in Belgrade. It failed to recover its production costs at the box office, leading to the closure of its production company Piran-Film soon afterwards.
