The Prodigal Planet is a 1983 American evangelical Christian horror film produced, directed and co-written by Donald W. Thompson. It is the fourth and final installment in the Thief in the Night series, based on an evangelical interpretation of Bible prophecy and the rise of the Antichrist.

Unlike the previous three films in the series filmed entirely in Iowa, The Prodigal Planet included filming locations in Omaha, Colorado, and New Mexico.
