Daughters of Today was a 1928 silent film from Lahore, in present day Pakistan (then British India). It was produced by G.K Mehta and directed by Shankradev Arya.

This was the first feature film made in Lahore, and helped to establish the city of Lahore as one of the centres of filming in India. The Lahore film industry is now known as Lollywood. Production started in 1924 and took three years to complete, mainly due to financial problems.

Two participants later became prominent personalities of the subcontinental film industry: A.R. Kardar was one of the most famous Bombay film directors in the 1930's, 40's and 50's; and actor M. Ismael's film career spanned over five decades.
