Background to Danger is a 1943 World War II spy thriller film directed by Raoul Walsh. It stars George Raft with Brenda Marshall, Sydney Greenstreet, and Peter Lorre.

Based on the 1937 novel Uncommon Danger by Eric Ambler and set in politically neutral Turkey, the screenplay was credited to W. R. Burnett, although William Faulkner and Daniel Fuchs also contributed.

The film was designed to capitalize on the runaway success of Casablanca, which had also featured Lorre and Greenstreet. The Russian operative positively portrayed by Brenda Marshall shows an exaggerated degree of cooperation, and the film has a slight pro-Soviet bias akin to Warner Bros.' Mission to Moscow from the same year.

Walsh called the film "a quickie".
