The Innocent (Egyptian Arabic: البرئ, pronounced: Elbaree') is an Egyptian film, released in 1986, starring Ahmed Zaki, Gamil Ratib, and Mahmoud Abdel Aziz. It is written by Wahid Hamed and directed by Atef El Tayeb.

In 2005, Minister of Culture Farouk Hosny, in a rare move for the censorship-heavy region, agreed to show the movie uncut for the first time, 19 years after its production and release with heavy edits (including the removal of the controversial ending) demanded by the Ministers of Interior (Ahmed Rushdi), Defense (Abd Al-Halim Abu-Ghazala), and Culture (Ahmed Abdel Maqsoud Heikal) at the time. The 2005 screening was at the Cairo International Film Festival in honor of the then recently deceased Zaki. Both the songs in the film are sung and composed by Ammar El Sherei and feature lyrics by the poet Abdel Rahman el-Abnudi.
