Acquitted is a 1916 American silent mystery film produced by the Fine Arts Film Company and distributed by Triangle Film Corporation. Paul Powell directed a screenplay by Roy Somerville based on a 1907 short story by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Tod Browning served as an uncredited writer.

This film marks the first starring role of Wilfred Lucas, and may mark Bessie Love's film debut. The film is presumed lost, possibly due to the 1965 MGM vault fire.
