Tatort: Zielscheibe is a 2001 German television crime film and the 481st episode of the long-running Tatort series. It is the thirteenth case featuring Chief Inspector Max Palu, played by Jochen Senf. Directed by Robert Sigl from a screenplay by Peter Zingler, the film was produced by Saarländischer Rundfunk and first broadcast on Das Erste on 14 October 2001.

The story centers on the death of a television presenter. As Palu and his team investigate, the case exposes the presenter’s own show, which waged a relentless media campaign against suspected offenders. The detectives must untangle how public denunciation and media pressure intersect with the crime, raising questions about justice, guilt and the power of television. Tayfun Bademsoy and Aykut Kayacık appear in supporting roles.
