''Apaches'' is a 1977 public information film made in the United Kingdom. Intended to show the dangers of playing with farm equipment, this film was distributed to a number of schools throughout the United Kingdom.

It focuses on six children who pretend to be Apaches (the American Indian tribe) in their make-believe. They play their games on a farm where, one by one, they fall victim to fatal accidents. After that, they continue as if nothing happened, until only one is left.

Oddly, while a writer (Neville Smith) and director (John Mackenzie) were credited in the film, none of the children who starred in the film were given credit, and their identities remain a mystery to this day.
