The House of Rothschild is a 1934 film which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. It was written by Nunnally Johnson from the play by George Hembert Westley, and directed by Alfred L. Werker.

The movie stars George Arliss, Loretta Young, and Boris Karloff, in the biographical story of the rise of the Rothschild family of European bankers.

Its final sequence was one of the first shot in the three-strip Technicolor process.

A scene from "The House of Rothchild" was deliberately mis-translated and used as Anti-Semitic propaganda in the Nazi film The Eternal Jew.
