Ziegfeld Girl is a 1941 American musical drama film directed by Robert Z. Leonard and starring James Stewart, Judy Garland, Hedy Lamarr, Lana Turner, Tony Martin, Jackie Cooper, Eve Arden, and Philip Dorn.

The film, which features musical numbers by Busby Berkeley, was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It was intended to be a 1938 sequel to the 1936 hit The Great Ziegfeld, and recycled some footage from the earlier film. Unlike that film and the later Ziegfeld Follies, Ziegfeld himself does not appear as a character. Released on April 25, 1941, Ziegfeld Girl was a commercial hit, and grossed $3.1 million worldwide.
