Stories from a Flying Trunk is a 1979 film based on three stories by Hans Christian Andersen. It was devised, written and directed by Christine Edzard and produced by John Brabourne and Richard Goodwin.

The music by Giacchino Rossini was arranged by John Dalby, and the choreography was by Frederick Ashton. The film stars Murray Melvin as H. C. Andersen, and Ann Firbank, John Tordoff, John Dalby, Patricia Napier and dancers of the Royal Ballet.

The stories the film is based on are The Kitchen, in which household objects come to life, The Little Match Girl, which updates Andersen's tale to the East End of London in the late 1970s, and Little Ida, with dance featuring members of the Royal Ballet.
