Fame Is the Name of the Game (1966) is an American TV-movie, directed by Stuart Rosenberg, that aired on NBC and served as the pilot episode of the subsequent series The Name of the Game. It starred Tony Franciosa as an investigative journalist and featured the screen debut of 20-year-old Susan Saint James. The telefilm also starred Jill St. John and Jack Klugman.

NBC erroneously billed the telefilm as television's first "world premiere" of a "major motion picture", though the first such premiered as early as 1964.
