Intaqam (English: Revenge) is a 1969 Bollywood suspense-thriller film directed by R. K. Nayyar. It starred Sanjay Khan and Sadhana Shivdasani in the lead supported by Ashok Kumar, Jeevan, Rajendra Nath, Rehman, Helen and Anju Mahendru.

The film also features the first cabaret number sung by Lata Mangeshkar, "Aa Jaane Jaan", also a rarity through her career. The song was picturized on Helen and choreographed by P. L. Raj. It also remains one of the most popular dance numbers of Helen's career. The music composed by Laxmikant Pyarelal with lyrics by Rajinder Krishan was popular with songs like "Hum Tumhare Liye". Lata was nominated in the Filmfare Best Female Playback Singer category for her song "Kaise Rahoon Chup", the only nomination for the film.

The film was a success at the box office and marked the return of actress Sadhana to films after her brief illness, and her husband directed the film.

It is a film adaptation of the 1912 play Within the Law (play), and there were prior film adaptations, including the American film Paid starring Joan Crawford. Intaqam was remade into the Telugu film Pagabattina Paduchu (1971) starring Sharada (actress) and the Marathi film Naav Motha Lakshan Khota (1977)
