"The Mattei Affair" ( _it. Il Caso Mattei) is a 1972 film directed by Francesco Rosi. It depicts the life and mysterious death of Enrico Mattei, an Italian businessman who in the aftermath of World War II managed to avoid the sale of the nascent Italian oil and hydrocarbon industry to US companies and developed them in the Eni, a state-owned oil company which rivaled the seven sisters for oil and gas deals in northern african and middle eastern countries.

The film shared the "Grand Prix" with "The Working Class Goes to Heaven" at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972. Italian star Gian Maria Volonté was the leading actor in both films.
