Banco is a 1973 autobiography by Henri Charrière, it is a sequel to his previous novel Papillon. It documents Charrière's life in Venezuela, where he arrived after his escape from the penal colony on Devil's Island.

Like its predecessor, Banco is purportedly an autobiography, though much of the content of questionable accuracy. Continuing on from Papillon, Banco tells of Henri's stubborn efforts to bring justice to those who sent him on his perilous mission. Banco is told in the same gripping way as Papillon and provides some much-needed answers to questions left open in the previous volume.
