Samaj Ko Badal Dalo (Change This World) is a 1947 Indian Hindi social melodrama film directed by Vijay Bhatt. Produced under the Prakash Pictures banner, its music composer was Khemchand Prakash, with lyrics by Pandit Indra, Roopdas, and Qamar Jalalabadi. The story, screenplay and dialogues were by Pandit Girish. Its cinematographer was Yusuf Mulji and the film starred Arun Ahuja, Mridula, Yakub, Leela Pawar, Umakant and Bikram Kapoor.

Bhatt's social film dealt with the issue of "mismatched" marriages and advocated divorce, setting a partner free in order to choose their own mate. Samaj Ko Badal Dalo (1970) is a film of the same name directed by V. Madhusudan Rao and produced by Gemini, however it had no relation to the 1947 film, but was instead a remake of A. Vincent's award-winning Malayalam film, Thulabharam (1968).
