Lady Windermere's Fan is a 1925 American silent drama film directed by Ernst Lubitsch. It is based on Oscar Wilde's 1892 play Lady Windermere's Fan, which was first played in America by Julia Arthur as Lady Windermere and Maurice Barrymore as Lord Darlington. The film is preserved in multiple archives. It was transferred to 16mm film by Associated Artists Productions in the 1950s for television. In 2002, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
