The Motorist Bride (German: Die Motorbraut) is a 1925 German silent romance film directed by Richard Eichberg and starring Hans Mierendorff, Lee Parry and Ernst Hofmann. The film is notable for the use of Lilian Harvey as a stunt double for Parry during the mountaineering scenes shot in Switzerland.[1] Harvey quickly graduated to become the top star of Richard Eichberg's production company.

It premiered at the Marmorhaus in Berlin on 22 January 1925.[2] The film's art direction is by Jacek Rotmil.
