Victor and Victoria (German: Viktor und Viktoria) is a 1933 German musical comedy film directed by Reinhold Schünzel starring Renate Müller as a woman pretending to be a female impersonator. At the same time, Schünzel shot a French-language version of the film as George and Georgette starring Meg Lemonnier and a French cast.

In 1935, Michael Balcon produced an English version titled First a Girl directed by Victor Saville and starring Jessie Matthews and Sonnie Hale. A West German remake by Karl Anton was released in 1957.

In 1982, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released Victor/Victoria, an English-language remake by Blake Edwards. Edwards later based a successful stage musical on the film. Both the film and the musical starred Julie Andrews.
