Knightriders is a 1981 American action drama film written and directed by George A. Romero and starring Ed Harris, Gary Lahti, Tom Savini, Amy Ingersoll, Patricia Tallman, and Christine Forrest. The film was shot entirely on location in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, including Fawn Township and Natrona, during the summer of 1980.

The film represented a departure for Romero, who was primarily known for his horror films. Instead, it focused on a personal drama involving a traveling renaissance fair troupe.
