The Student of Prague (German: Der Student von Prag) is a 1926 silent film by Czech actor and filmmaker Henrik Galeen. It is a remake of the 1913 film by the same title, directed by Stellan Rye. It is considered as Galeen's most important film since the first Golem that he co-directed in 1915 with Paul Wegener. In the meantime, Galeen had written the scripts for the 1920 remake of The Golem, for Nosferatu (1922) and for Waxworks (1924).

The film crew involved some famous names: Hermann Warm, who was one of the stage designers for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari; Günther Krampf, cinematographer of The Hands of Orlac; and the actors Werner Krauss and Conrad Veidt, who already appeared together in Caligari and Waxworks.
