Belladonna of Sadness (哀しみのベラドンナ, Kanashimi no Belladonna, also known as La Sorciere, Tragedy of Belladonna or simply Belladonna) is an adult 1973 feature film, inspired by Jules Michelet's 1862 non-fiction book La Sorcière. Produced by the Japanese animation studio Mushi Production, directed and co-written by Eiichi Yamamoto.

It follows the story of Jeanne, a laborer woman who is raped which leads to her being accused of sorcery and is notable for its sensual, violent, and psychedelic imagery.

Jeanne and Jean are happy newlyweds in a countryside village in Medieval France. Their idyll is promptly shattered when Jeanne, on her wedding night, is raped in a ritual deflowering by the local baron and his courtiers. She returns to Jean terrified and in pain, and he calms her, saying, "Let us forget everything in the past". That night, Jeanne begins to see visions of a phallic-headed spirit who promises her power, which results in the couple's fortunes.
