The Green Goddess is the name of two American motion pictures, the first made in 1923 and the second in 1929.

The 1923 silent film was adapted for the screen by Forrest Halsey from the William Archer stage play and directed by Sidney Olcott. It starred George Arliss, Alice Joyce, David Powell, Jetta Goudal and Harry T. Morey. It tells the story of three English people who crash land in an Indian kingdom in which the Rajah threatens to execute them if the British execute his half-brothers.

The 1929 remake was done by Warner Brothers using their new Vitaphone sound system. In the 1929 version George Arliss and Alice Joyce reprised their roles which also starred Ralph Forbes, H.B. Warner, Ivan F. Simpson and Reginald Sheffield. It was adapted by Julien Josephson and was directed by Alfred E. Green.

With the creation of the Academy Awards in 1928, George Arliss received a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the 1929 film.
