Skeem is a 2011 South African movie that was written and directed by Tim Greene. It premiered on 16 October 2011 at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, where it won the Audience's Choice Award, and opened to local theaters in South Africa later that same month.

Of the film, Greene has stated that he wanted to create a film that South Africans could watch that they could be proud of and "doesn't beat them up, lash them and make them feel like watching South African films is like penance". The title track for the film, "Oons behoort mos saam", was sung by Jack Parow and EJ von Lyrik.
