"I'll be back" is a catchphrase associated with Arnold Schwarzenegger, which he first used in his role as the title character from the 1984 science fiction film The Terminator. On June 21, 2005, it was chosen as #37 on the American Film Institute list, AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes. Schwarzenegger uses the same line, or some variant of it, in many of his later films.

Schwarzenegger first used the line in The Terminator. In the scene, his character, the Terminator, an android assassin, is refused entry to the police station where his target is housed. He surveys the counter, then tells the police sergeant: "I'll be back." Moments later, he drives a car into the station, destroying the counter, and massacres the staff.

In an October 1, 2012, interview on Good Morning America, Schwarzenegger revealed that he had had difficulty pronouncing the word I'll and asked director James Cameron if it could be changed to "I will be back". Cameron refused but told him that the shot would be taken more than once and the best would be used in the final cut of the film so Schwarzenegger could vary the line.

Variations of the line have been used by Schwarzenegger in a number of other films in which he appears.

In addition to being the Terminator's catchphrase, Schwarzenegger has used it as his personal catchphrase in many of his other films.

Schwarzenegger has since used the phrase during public speeches as part of his career as the governor of the U.S. state of California.

The line "I'll be back." was used in the 1928 silent film, The Godless Girl.
