After the Verdict (German: Die Siegerin) is a 1929 British-German drama film directed by Henrik Galeen and starring Olga Chekhova and Warwick Ward. In the film, an aristocrat is accused of murdering his lover. It was based on the 1924 novel of the same title by Robert Hichens. It was made as an independent film at British International Pictures' Elstree Studios. Once considered a lost film, a print including its DeForest Phonofilm music-and-effects soundtrack is in the collections of the George Eastman Museum. It was Galeen's penultimate film as a director, after returning to Germany he directed the thriller The House of Dora Green (1933).
