Svidd neger (in English, The Black Lapp [1] or Scorched Negro [2] ) is a Norwegian film released in 2003, directed by Erik Smith Meyer and written by Stein Elvestad. Norwegian band Ulver provided the soundtrack. The plot revolves around two families living in a rural part of Norway. The main character is a young black man named ante who wants to be a Sami.

In 2024 the movie was re-released under a different title in Norway, Ammrika, claiming the original title being too offensive for modern times.
