The Brave One is a 1957 American drama film. The film was directed by Irving Rapper, and stars Michel Ray, Rodolfo Hoyos Jr., and Elsa Cárdenas. The Brave One won the 1957 Academy Award for Best Story, and was nominated for Best Film Editing and Best Sound.

The writer was originally credited as Robert Rich, a pseudonym used by Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo, who was not presented with the Academy Award for best screenplay until 1975, was blacklisted as one of the Hollywood Ten in 1947 for allegedly being a member of the American Communist Party.
