"The Abominable Snowman" (aka "The Abominable Snowman of the Himalayas") is a 1957 British horror film, directed by Val Guest and starring Forrest Tucker and Peter Cushing. The film is based on "The Creature", a BBC Television play by writer Nigel Kneale, and follows the exploits of an English anthropologist with an American expedition as they search the Himalayas for the legendary Yeti. Kneale adapted his own television script into the film screenplay. Cushing, along with several other members of the cast, had also starred in the original version (the role of Tom Friend in the television play was taken by Stanley Baker).

The film was produced by Hammer Film Productions and released on August 26, 1957 in the UK. It was subsequently released in the United States and throughout the world.
