Samiun dan Dasima (Indonesian for Samiun and Dasima) is a 1971 Indonesian film directed by Hasmanan (). Starring Chitra Dewi and W.D Mochtar (), it follows a njai (concubine) named Dasima who is wooed, misled, and ultimately killed by a man who seeks her wealth.

Dasima (Chitra Dewi) is the njai (concubine) of the Englishman Edward William (A. Hamid Arief). With him she has a daughter, Nancy, (Astri Ivo). One day, after seeing Edward participate in an orgy, she leaves him and moves in with the maid Mak Buyung (Fifi Young). While there, she meets Samiun (W.D Mochtar ()), a smuggler and black market goods vendor, and his wife Hayati (Sofia W.D.), a gambling addict. Aware that Dasima has held onto a portion of Edward's wealth, Samiun attempts to win her heart and take her as his second wife.

Samiun succeeds, and Dasima moves in with him and Hayati. The couple make short work of Dasima's wealth, and Samiun is soon in debt. Hoping to take her remaining funds, Samiun calls the thug Puasa (Wahid Chan) and asks him to pretend to mug Dasima when she is out with him. This mugging, however, goes awry, and Dasima is killed. After her body is found in a river, Samiun and Puasa are arrested. In the epilogue, Nancy is taken back to Europe by Edward.
