Blood for a Silver Dollar (Italian: Un dollaro bucato), also known as One Silver Dollar, is a 1965 Italian-French Spaghetti Western film directed by Giorgio Ferroni, written by Giorgio Stegani and Ferroni and starring Giuliano Gemma and Ida Galli.

Upon release in the United States, nearly all of the cast members and production team had their names changed for the English audience. In France the film is known as Le Dollar troué. Gemma was billed as "Montgomery Wood" as with many of his other films. The title song had a successful cover version by Nini Rosso.

The original title music, composed by Gianni Ferrio, was used in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds soundtrack. Some of Ferrio's remaining themes are also featured in the videogame Red Dead Revolver.

Gary O'Hara, a Confederate Lieutenant, returns from the war, to fight one at home. Prior to his release from the Prisoner of War camp his pistol has its barrel sawn off, as well as his brother Phil's gun and all the pistols from Lieutenants of the South. He arrives at his house and finds his wife living in poverty. He promises her to reunite and three months and travels to Yellowstone to make a living. There, he meets the wealty landowner and banker McCoy, who hires Gary and asks him to arrest a new gangster in town named "Black Jack", who has supposedly wreaked havoc in the community.
