A Town Betrayed (Norwegian: Byen som kunne ofres, Croatian: Grad koji se mogao žrtvovati, Izdani grad) is a 2010 Norwegian documentary about the prelude of the Srebrenica massacre (1995), produced by journalists Ola Flyum and David Hebditch. It was shown on NRK on 26 April 2011 and SVT on 28 August 2011.

The documentary has received critique from ICTY representatives and the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, as it "contradicts past judgments". It portrays the massacre as a "conventional military operation" that was provoked by earlier Bosniak killings of Serbs. It alleges that the Bosnian leadership sacrificed the town for political goals.
