The Girl from Chicago is a 1932 American Pre-Code drama film produced and directed by Oscar Micheaux, with an all-African-American cast including lead actors Grace Smith and Carl Mahon. This film is a remake of the now-lost 1926 Oscar Michaeux silent film The Spider’s Web.

Produced on a shoestring budget, this independent production featured a largely non-professional cast. As it is common in Micheaux's films, the story line is punctuated with several musical numbers, offering a glimpse of African-American musical and dancing talent of the time.
