Ang Probinsyano (lit. "The Man from the Province" or "The Provincial Man") is a 1997 Philippine action film directed, produced, and written by Fernando Poe Jr., who also stars as the twin lead roles. The film was a box office hit, and had a sequel released in 1998 entitled Ang Pagbabalik ng Probinsyano which was still top-billed by Poe.

In 2015, the film was remade by ABS-CBN as a teleserye starring Coco Martin.^[1]^[2]
