El vampiro (English: The Vampire) is a 1957 Mexican horror film, produced by Abel Salazar and directed by Fernando Méndez from an original screenplay by Ramon Obon, and starring German Robles as Count Lavud, the vampire, Abel Salazar as Dr. Enrique, and Ariadna Welter as Marta. The film, which took influence from the canon of Universal horror, is seen as the beginning of the Mexican horror boom of the 1960s.

A sequel, El ataud del vampiro (English: The Vampire's Coffin) with the same producer (Salazar), director (Méndez), writer (Obon) and three main actors playing the same roles (Robles, Salazar, and Welter) was released in 1958.
