Code of Scotland Yard is a 1947 British crime film directed by George King and starring Oskar Homolka, Muriel Pavlow and Derek Farr. It was also known as The Shop at Sly Corner, from the popular stage play of that name by Edward Percy. It features an appearance by the young Diana Dors.

A wealthy French refugee (Homolka) lives a comfortable life as an antique dealer in London, but when an employee (Griffith) discovers that his money comes from fencing stolen goods, the employee attempts to blackmail the Frenchman, with fatal results. The antique dealer cares only for his concert violinist daughter (Pavlow), and when he sees her future is threatened, he kills the blackmailer.
