Vaddante Dabbu (transl.Endless money) is a 1954 Indian Telugu-language screwball comedy film directed by Y. R. Swamy. It was produced by Moola Narayana Swamy and presented by H. M. Reddy on Rohini Pictures banner. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao, Sowcar Janaki and Jamuna, with music composed by T. A. Kalyanam. It was simultaneously shot in Tamil as Panam Paduthum Padu (transl.Strains caused by money).

The film was based on the George Barr McCutcheon novel Brewster's Millions (1902). Despite originally opening to a mixed response, it attained cult status in Telugu cinema, and was remade in the same language as Babai Abbai (1985).
