Paint It Black is a 1989 American thriller film directed by Tim Hunter and starring Rick Rossovich, Sally Kirkland, Doug Savant, Julie Carmen, and Martin Landau. The film is about a struggling California artist who becomes a suspect after a serial killer murders his gallery-owner lover. It was released to Vestron Video and is one of the company's last titles before it folded.

The film had a troubled production history, as the original director Roger Holzberg was replaced by Hunter following his work on the acclaimed River's Edge. The script underwent so many changes that writers Timothy Harris and Herschel Weingrod chose to be credited in the finished film under the pseudonyms Michael Drexler and A.H. Zacharias.
