Kuhle Wampe ( the full title is Kuhle Wampe oder Wem gehört die Welt) is a German feature film, released in 1932, about unemployment and left wing politics in the Weimar Republic. The title refers to a tent camp for the dispossessed set up in the countryside near to Berlin.

The script was conceived and written by Bertolt Brecht. Directed by Slatan Duden, the impact of this black and white film is enhanced by the cinematography of Gunther Krampf and a musical score by Hanns Eisler.

The film was banned by the Nazis and was unseen for many years after the Second World War. However, a restored print is now available and a video was released by the British Film Institute in 1999, along with a documentary video essay on the original film by Andrew Hoellering, son of the film's producer Georg Hoellering.
