Mangatyanan (English: The Blood Trail) is a 2009 Philippine independent film written (under the pseudonym Ramon Ukit), directed, edited (under Pats R. Ranyo), and scored by Jerrold Tarog. The title refers to a Mangatyanan "blood trail" ritual of the Labwanan tribe, which plays an integral role in the plot. Both ritual and tribe were invented for the film.

Mangatyanan was a finalist in the full-length feature category of the 2009 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.
