Soldier is a 1998 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Abbas–Mustan starring Bobby Deol, Preity Zinta and Raakhee Gulzar. This was the first of several films where Deol collaborated with Abbas–Mustan.

Although Soldier was Zinta's first film, Mani Ratnam's Dil Se.. ended up being released before Soldier and was thus Zinta's film debut. Soldier was the first film in Abbas–Mustan's career which was not a Hollywood remake or adaptation.

According to film writer Shyam Goel, it was inspired by a real incident that happened in Punjab where a woman's forehead was branded with the message that her husband was a traitor. Her husband, a soldier, was accused of treachery, and she was thrown out of her village. The story was already made as a movie in Tamil in 1989 titled Thaai Naadu, starring Sathyaraj in dual roles.

Soldier released on 20 November 1998 and was declared as a superhit by Box Office India, becoming the 2nd highest-grossing film of the year in India after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.At the 44th Filmfare Awards, Soldier received 5 nominations, including Best Director (Abbas–Mustan) and Best Supporting Actress (Raakhee), and won 2 awards, including Best Female Debut (Zinta, also for Dil Se..).

The film was remade in Dhallywood as Jamin Nai by Syed Harun starring Shabnur, Shakti Kapoor and Mizu Ahmed in 2000 and Tamil as Villu by Prabhu Deva starring Vijay & Nayanthara in 2009.
