Fighting Caravans is a lavish 1931 western film starring Gary Cooper as a young scout leading a wagon train west. The supporting cast includes Lili Damita, Ernest Torrence, Tully Marshall, Fred Kohler, and Eugene Pallette. The movie was directed by Otto Brower and David Burton, and was remade three years later as Wagon Wheels, a stock-footage cheapie with Randolph Scott and Gail Patrick.

Although the film is billed as being based on the novel of the same name by Zane Grey, the stories in both film and novel have little in common.
