Penny Gold is a 1973 British drama film directed by Jack Cardiff and starring James Booth, Francesca Annis, Nicky Henson and Joss Ackland. The screenplay concerns two policemen who investigate a series of murders.

Two policemen investigate a series of murders, discovering the motivation was an extremely valuable stamp.

Time Out noted, "a brilliant opening sequence, otherwise this flat-footed British thriller is hampered by something like the world's worst script, including flashbacks no one would ever conceivably flash back to, and by a cumbersome storyline about big league stamp trading"; while Sky Movies wrote, "the spirit of the British crime movie of the Fifties lives on in this old-fashioned thriller about the hunt for a rare stamp - the Penny Gold of the title. Jack Cardiff directs with obvious affection for a genre long past but it's hard on such distinguished players as Francesca Annis and James Booth not to have more meat on which to bite."
