'Orozco the Embalmer' (Spanish: 'Orozco el embalsamador') is a 2001 Spanish-language Japanese mondo film directed by Kiyotaka Tsurisaki. It follows a Colombian embalmer named Froilan Orozco Duarte, who is shown living in El Cartucho, an impoverished and crime-ridden area of Bogot, Colombia, where the homicide rate is high and corpses can be seen on the streets.

The film comprises footage taken over a period of several years, documenting in a graphic cinma vrit manner Orozco's embalming of corpses. Orozco died during the production of the film. In 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the film became trending on TikTok.
