Lady Snowblood (修羅雪姬, Shurayukihime) starring Meiko Kaji, is a gory revenge-themed Japanese action film directed by Toshiya Fujita, in which the daughter of a woman who was raped by bandits grows up to wreak revenge on her mother's violators.

The film is based on a manga by Kazuo Koike who also created the Crying Freeman, Samurai Executioner, and Lone Wolf and Cub
manga series. The English version of the manga is published by Dark Horse Comics.

Lady Snowblood spawned one sequel, entitled Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance. In this sequel, Yuki is in prison for the crimes she committed in the first movie. The Japanese government offers to free her if she will kill an enemy of the state.

The film was one of the inspirations for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill
films, which borrow the story of the woman with a list of targets, as the chapter format. The scene in which The Bride fights O-Ren Ishii uses a snowy landscape that echoes scenes in Lady Snowblood, and the theme song sung by Meiko Kaji (translated by Tarantino as "The Flower of Carnage") is also used in Kill Bill.
