Crows and Sparrows (simplified Chinese: 乌鸦与麻雀; traditional Chinese: 烏鴉与麻雀; pinyin: Wūyā yŭ máquè) was a 1949 Chinese film made by Kunlun Studios on the eve of the Communist victory and directed by Zheng Junli. Notable for its extremely critical view of corrupt Nationalist bureaucrats, the film was made as Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing-based government was on the verge of collapse, and was not actually released until after the Chinese Civil War had ended.

The film starred Zhao Dan in the leading role.
