Ooruki Monagadu (transl. Hero of the village) is a 1981 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film directed by K. Raghavendra Rao. The film stars Krishna and Jayaprada in the lead roles. It was a commercial success at the box office and became one of the highest-grossing Telugu films of 1981.
The film marked the third collaboration between Krishna and director Raghavendra Rao, following their successful partnership in Bhale Krishnudu (1980) and Gharana Donga (1980). Ooruki Monagadu was later remade twice in Hindi as Himmatwala: first in 1983 and again in 2013.
