Bonanza: Under Attack is a 1995 made-for-television Western film. It is a sequel to the 1959–1973 television series Bonanza and television films Bonanza: The Next Generation (1988) and Bonanza: The Return (1993). The movie was directed by Mark Tinker and features noted character actors Ben Johnson, Jack Elam, and Richard Roundtree (reprising their roles from the 1993 film), as well as Leonard Nimoy and Dennis Farina.

None of the characters from the original series appears since the entire cast, with the exception of Pernell Roberts and David Canary, had died. The cast also includes Michael Landon Jr. and Dirk Blocker, sons of the original series' actors who starred as Little Joe and Hoss Cartwright.

Nimoy and Farina portray real-life figures, outlaw Frank James (brother of Jesse James) and Pinkertons detective Charlie Siringo.
