Old Heidelberg is a 1915 American silent romance film directed by John Emerson and starring Wallace Reid, Dorothy Gish and Karl Formes. Erich von Stroheim had one of his earliest performances for the screen in this movie. It is an adaptation of the 1901 play Old Heidelberg by Wilhelm Meyer-Förster, the first of five film versions which have been made. The film still survives, unlike many productions of the era.
