Agni Sakshi (transl. With Fire As Witness) is a 1996 Indian Hindi-language psychological thriller film directed by Partho Ghosh, written by Ranbir Pushp and Hriday Lani, starring Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala. The music is by Nadeem-Shravan. Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala were widely appreciated for their performances with Patekar winning the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1997. The film released in quick succession with Yaraana, starring Madhuri Dixit and Daraar, starring Juhi Chawla. All the three were based on the Julia Roberts-starrer l 1991 American film Sleeping with the Enemy; only Agni Sakshi proved to be successful while the other two remakes failed at the box office.

Agni Sakshi was rated the first among top five "super-hit" films of 1996 by the Indian Express.
