The Premonition is a 1976 American psychological thriller feature film, produced and directed by Robert Allen Schnitzer. The lead actors in the film were Richard Lynch, Sharon Farrell, Danielle Brisebois and Jeff Corey.

Based on a screenplay by Anthony Mahon and Robert Allen Schnitzer with additional dialogue by Louis Pastore, it tells the story of a young girl whose foster mother has a premonition that her unstable biological mother is coming to claim her and take her away. The premonition comes true and thus the film unfolds. The girl is played by Danielle Brisebois who was at the time aged 7 years old.

The film was shot in Mississippi.

The film received mixed reviews. Leonard Maltin called it mediocre, praising the authentic Mississippi locations, but saying its "muddled script works against [the] eerie atmosphere in this supernatural tale." A more positive review by Video Hound’s Golden Movie Retriever called it "a well-done para-norm tale."

The film was released on DVD in 2005 with extras including voice over commentary by both Richard Lynch and the director.
