Der Mann, der seinen Mörder Sucht (sh. Čovjek u potrazi za vlastitim ubicom) je njemačka crno-bijela filmska komedija snimljena 1931. u režiji Roberta Siodmaka. Temelji se na istoimenom teatarskom komadu Ernsta Neubacha koga su scenaristički bradili Ludwig Hirschfeld, Billy Wilder i Siodmakov brat Curt. Naslovni protagonist, koga tumači Heinz Rühmann, je samoubica koji, ne mogavši prikupiti hrabrost da lično digne ruku na sebe, angažira plaćenog ubicu. Radnja prikazuje komplikacije koje nastanu kada se predomisli i nastoji spriječiti vlastitu likvidaciju. Danas je sačuvano samo 50 od originalnih 97 minuta filma, dok se ostatak smatra izgubljenim.

Postoje navodi, iako pogrešni, da je poslužio kao predložak za znameniti američki film noir D.O.A. iz 1950. godine.
