Baby Blood is a 1990 French body horror film directed and co-written by Alain Robak, and starring Emmanuelle Escourrou and Jean-François Galotte. Its plot follows a former circus performer who is driven to commit murders and consume blood by an ancient parasite that has invaded her womb.

The film was shown at the Avoriaz Fantasy Film Festival and the Sarasota French Film Festival in 1990. At Avoriaz, it became the first film to win a Jury Award despite not being in competition. In the United States, Dimension Films acquired home media distribution rights, releasing it directly-to-video in 1994 under the alternate title The Evil Within. In 2008, a sequel to the film was released titled Lady Blood.
