Stage Struck is a 1925 American silent comedy film starring Gloria Swanson, Lawrence Gray, Gertrude Astor, and Ford Sterling. The film was directed by Allan Dwan, and released by Paramount Pictures with the opening and ending sequences filmed in the early two-color Technicolor.

Jennie Hagan (Swanson) is a waitress who dreams of becoming a star. When a real theatrical diva (Astor) arrives in town, Jennie schemes to get a part on the stage.

The majority of the film was shot in location in New Martinsville, West Virginia. Other sequences were shot at the Astoria Studio in Astoria, Queens.

In 2004, the film, including its Technicolor sequences, was restored by the George Eastman House film archive. A copy of the film is also in the British Film Institute collection.
