Annie Laurie is a 1927 silent film directed by John S. Robertson, released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and starring Lillian Gish and Norman Kerry.

This was the third film of Lillian Gish at MGM, and its poor boxoffice returns marked a decline in the star's career. On a down note Gish stated that her mother became ill during the production of this film and that "...she only showed up for work" as opposed to putting her all into the film.^[1] John Wayne makes an early film appearance as a crowd extra.^[2]
