Can John Braund Cure Cancer? is a 1948 Australian documentary directed by Ken G. Hall about John Braund, a man who claimed he could cure cancer.

Braund was a highly controversial character at the time and the film was much publicised.[2][3][4][5] There was considerable controversy over whether Braund should have been allowed to have such a public forum.[6][7][8][9] Braund was later declared to be a fraud.[10]
