The Incredible Shrinking Man (sh. Nevjerojatni čovjek koji se smanjuje) je američki crno-bijeli science fiction film snimljen 1957. u režiji Jacka Arnolda. Temelji se na romanu The Shrinking Man Richarda Mathesona koji je također sudjelovao na pisanju scenarija. Naslovni protagonist, čiji lik tumači Grant Williams, je poslovni čovjek koji zbog izloženosti radioaktivnom oblaku postane žrtvom neobičnog fenomena koji izaziva postepeno ali stalno smanjivanje dimenzija njegovog tijela. Radnja prikazuje kako se taj proces odražava na njegov bračni i porodični život, ali i kako zbog svojih minijaturnih dimenzija postaje metom dotada bezazlenih kućnih ljubimaca i insekata. Iako snimljen s niskim budžetom, The Incredible Shrinking Man se odlikovao za tadašnje standarde domišljatim i impresivnim specijalnim efektima. Danas se smatra jednim od klasičnih ostvarenja žanra.
