Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia is a 1974 film directed by Sam Peckinpah.

According to a quote from Peckinpah, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia was the only "pure Peckinpah" film he ever made. Warren Oates stars as Bennie, an American piano player at a Mexican brothel.

Bennie is used to life at the bottom. When the chance to rise above the hum-drum arrives and make a little easy money, avarice clouds his judgment when he is given an incentive to bring back the severed head of a man who has impregnated the daughter of drug baron El Jefe (Emilio Fernandez ).

The film was universally panned when it was released in 1974 but in the intervening years it has acquired cult status. It is regarded by some as Peckinpah's darkest masterpiece, and the combination of the acting performances by Oates, Isela Vega , and Kris Kristofferson, and the 1970s penchant for road movies, has given it a lasting quality.
