{{Clint Eastwood series}}
The '''Man with No Name''' ({{langx|it|Uomo senza nome}}) is the [[antihero]] character portrayed by [[Clint Eastwood]] in [[Sergio Leone]]'s "''[[Dollars Trilogy]]''" of Italian [[Spaghetti Western]] films: ''[[A Fistful of Dollars]]'' (1964), ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' (1965), and ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'' (1966). He is recognizable by his [[sarape]], brown hat, tan [[cowboy boots]], fondness for [[cigarillo]]s, and the fact that he rarely speaks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsarama.com/793-christos-gage-on-the-man-with-no-name.html|title=Christos Gage on The Man With No Name|date=8 September 2023 }}</ref>

The "Man with No Name" concept was invented by the American distributor [[United Artists]]. Eastwood's character does have a name, or nickname, which is different in each film: "Joe", "Manco" and "Blondie", respectively.<ref name=RetFan10>{{cite journal |last=Farino  |first=Ernest |date=August 2020 |title=A Fistful of Pasta: The Italian Westerns of Sergio Leone |journal=RetroFan |publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]] |location=United States|issue=10 |pages=61–67}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Curti |first1=Roberto |title=Tonino Valerii: The Films |date=2 August 2016 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=9781476626185 |page=208 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7dXIDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA208 |access-date=27 June 2020}}</ref>
