Shavukaru (transl. Businessman) is a 1950 Indian Telugu-language drama film directed by L. V. Prasad. The film was produced by Nagireddy and Chakrapani under the Vijaya Productions banner as their maiden production. It stars N. T. Rama Rao in his first leading role after having a brief appearance as a police officer in the film Mana Desam (1949), along with debutant Janaki too in her first leading role. The music composed by Ghantasala.
The film won critical acclaim but underperformed commercially. Shavukaru bought wide fame to the lead actress Janaki and people began referring to her as Sowcar Janaki after the film's release. The film was remade in Tamil as Enga Veetu Penn (1965).
