A bag man (or bagman) is a person designated to collect money in a protection racket. Originally the term applied only to Mafia members collecting for mob bosses, but the term later spread to use in corrupt police precincts where a foot patrolman was the designated "bagman" to pick up and deliver bribes from the local mob(s) to the precinct captain. In many cases, the bagman receives a percentage of the money collected.

Bagman is a platform arcade game released by Valadon Automation in 1982. The player manoeuvres 'Bagman' ("the convict") through various mine shafts picking up money bags and placing them in the wheelbarrow at the surface of the mine, climbing up and down ladders, and avoiding enemies.
