The White Slave (French: L'esclave blanche) is a 1939 French drama film directed by Marc Sorkin and starring Viviane Romance, John Lodge and Marcel Dalio. German director Georg Wilhelm Pabst acted as a supervisor on the production. It was shot at the Saint-Maurice Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Andrej Andrejew and Guy de Gastyne, while the costumes were by Marcel Escoffier. It is a loose remake of the 1927 German silent film of the same title.
