Matalo! (also spelled as Mátalo) is a 1970 Italian spaghetti Western film directed by Cesare Canevari.

The film is considered among the most original western ever produced in Italy.{{cite book|last=Marco Giusti|title=Dizionario del western all'italiana|year=2007|publisher=Mondadori, 2007|isbn=978-88-04-57277-0}}Dossier Nocturno n. 31, Ai confini del western. Zone d'ombra del genere all'italiana. It is characterized from a greater weight given to psychology over action, an almost total lack of dialogues, an innovative soundtrack and the use by the lead character of a boomerang as his only weapon.

It was shown as part of a retrospective on Spaghetti Western at the 64th Venice International Film Festival.{{cite news|last=Chris D.|title=Venice readies plate of spaghetti|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117970816/?refCatId=13|access-date=12 August 2012|newspaper=Variety|date=24 August 2007}}
