Born to Be Bad is a 1934 American pre-Code drama film directed by Lowell Sherman, written by Ralph Graves, and starring Loretta Young and Cary Grant.

This film was rejected by the Hays Code twice before it was finally approved. Loretta Young's character, an unwed mother who entertains wholesale buyers to secure contracts for her friend, had to be re-written and re-filmed, so that her occupation is only hinted at. Producer Darryl F. Zanuck had to cut as much as possible shots of Young in her underwear and of her legs exposed to the hips. The box-office return was poor, with a loss of $50,000.
