Madigan is a 1968 crime-drama film directed by Don Siegel and starring Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda. The screenplay was written by Abraham Polonsky and Howard Rodman, and based on a novel by Richard Dougherty. It is also the title of a short-lived 1970s NBC television series based upon the film, also starring Richard Widmark.

The film follows the tired New York police detective Daniel Madigan (Richard Widmark) and his partner, Rocco Bonaro (Harry Guardino). After losing their guns to escaping fugitive Barney Benesch (Steve Ihnat), they are reprimanded by Commissioner Russell (Henry Fonda), and assigned to bring the fugitive to justice on their weekend off. Meanwhile, Russell attends city meetings, fights with the mayor, and counsels the families of fallen officers.
