The Amazing Transparent Man is a 1960 American science fiction thriller B-movie directed by Edgar G. Ulmer and starring Marguerite Chapman and Douglas Kennedy.

It was one of two sci-fi films shot back-to-back in Dallas, Texas by Ulmer. The production had an approximate budget of $100,000 or a little over $1,000,000 today (2025). The combined filming schedule for both films was only two weeks.
