Dillinger is a 1973 gangster film about the life and criminal exploits of notorious bank robber John Dillinger.

It stars Warren Oates as Dillinger and Ben Johnson as his pursuer, FBI Agent Melvin Purvis. It contains the first film performance by the singer Michelle Phillips as Dillinger's moll Billie Frechette. The film, narrated by Purvis, chronicles the last few years of Dillinger's life (depicted as a matter of months) as the FBI and law enforcement closed in. The setting is Depression era America, 1933-34.

The film features largely unromanticized depictions of the principal characters. It was written and directed by John Milius for Samuel Z. Arkoff's American International Pictures.

Retired FBI Agent Clarence Hurt, one of the agents involved in the final shootout with Dillinger, was the film's technical advisor. The film includes documentary imagery and film footage from the era. It includes a verbal renouncing of gangster films written by FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover: he was scheduled to read it, but died before the film's release. The written words of Hoover are read at the film's close by Paul Frees.

The film was followed by two made-for-TV spin-offs: Melvin Purvis: G-Man (1974) (teleplay written by Milius) and The Kansas City Massacre (1975), both directed by Dan Curtis and each starring Dale Robertson as Purvis.

Dillinger is a 1991 television film directed by Rupert Wainwright and starring Mark Harmon as John Dillinger.

Dillinger (died 2004) was a two-time Professional Bull Riders World Champion bucking bull owned by the Herrington Cattle Company. He won PBR "Bull of the Year" honors in 2000 and 2001. He is currently ranked first all-time in the ProBullStats.com Hall of Fame and was bestowed the PBR Brand of Honor in 2012, the second bull to receive the honor after Little Yellow Jacket won the inaugural award in 2011. Although larger than most elite bulls of his era, he was well known for his speed and agility, bucking over 86% of riders in 51 career outs. His most notable ride came in the 2001 Built Ford Tough World Finals, when 2-time PBR world champion Chris Shivers rode him for an all-time Finals record score of 96.5. 2002 PBR world champion Ednei Caminhas drew Dillinger four times and successfully rode him all four times, with three scores of 94 or better. Dillinger was forced into retirement after a leg injury in Louisville, Kentucky (which happened right before Caminhas' fourth ride on him) during the 2002 season and died in 2004.
