The Oil, the Baby and the Transylvanians (Romanian: Pruncul, petrolul și ardelenii, ) is a 1981 Romanian Red Western directed by Dan Pița.^[1]

It dramatises the struggles of Romanian and Hungarian settlers in a new land, the American frontier. Despite the American setting, including such minor details as use of the phrase "Bad-lands", it was shot entirely in Romania. A group of American Fulbright Scholars served as uncredited script consultants to make the English-language portion of the script sound more authentic.

It is a sequel to The Prophet, the Gold and the Transylvanians and The Actress, the Dollars and the Transylvanians, which are the first two parts of the trilogy.^[2]
