Under the Red Robe is a 1937 British-American historical adventure film directed by Victor Sjöström and starring Conrad Veidt, Annabella and Raymond Massey. It was written by Arthur Wimperis, Lajos Bíró, Philip Lindsay and J.L. Hodson, based on the 1894 novel of the same title by Stanley J. Weyman.
The film is set during the religious wars of early 17th century France; events in the novel itself means it can be dated to the autumn of 1630.
The story was previously filmed in 1915 (by Wilfred Noy) and 1923 (by Alan Crosland). Before both films a play had been produced on Broadway in 1896–1897 starring Viola Allen and William Faversham.
