Partido Alto is a 1982 Brazilian short documentary film directed by Leon Hirszman. Produced by now-defunct Brazilian state film production company Embrafilme, the film details the history of Partido alto, a musical subgenre of Samba focused on the drumming style of Bahia.

The documentary presents partido alto as a blend of freestyle rapping, rhyming and improvisational chorus.
