Crossfire Trail is a 2001 American made-for-television Western film directed by Simon Wincer and starring Tom Selleck, Virginia Madsen, and Wilford Brimley. Based on the 1954 Louis L'Amour Western novel of the same name, the film is about a wanderer named Rafe Covington, who swears an oath to his dying best friend to look after his beloved wife and Wyoming ranch, only to encounter another force who strongly desires the ranch and the woman for his own purposes.

Crossfire Trail premiered to 12.5 million viewers, making it the most-watched made-for-cable television movie ever, until the premiere of High School Musical 2 in 2007.
