Il bidone (English: The Swindle and The Swindlers) (1955) is an Italian film directed by Federico Fellini. It features Broderick Crawford, Richard Basehart, Giulietta Masina, among others.

Released one year after the director's internationally successful La strada, Il bidone continues with many of the same socially-conscious, neorealist-inspired themes while minimizing the poetic realism and extravagant vitality that is today is known as "felliniesque" in favor of a more pointed political stance.
