The Scarlet Blade (released in the United States as The Crimson Blade, but with the dialogue unchanged) is a 1963 British adventure film written and directed by John Gilling and starring Lionel Jeffries, Oliver Reed, Jack Hedley and June Thorburn.

It is a period drama set during the English Civil War, a genre not usually approached by Hammer films of that time.
