A Bronx Morning is a 1931 avant-garde film by American filmmaker Jay Leyda (1910-1988).
Described as "city symphony", the eleven-minute European style film recorded a Bronx street before it is crowded with traffic. Largely unnoticed in the United States, on the strength of this film Leyda was invited to study with Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein, the only American to do so.
In 2004, the Library of Congress added it to the National Film Registry.
