The Blue Dahlia (sh. Plava dalija) je američki crno-bijeli kriminalistički film snimljen 1946. u režiji Georgea Marshalla, poznat kao jedno od klasičnih ostvarenja žanra film noir.

Scenario za film je napisao Raymond Chandler, proslavljeni pisac hardboiled kriminalističkih filmova, kome je to predstavljao jedini originalni tekst specifično napisan za film. Protagonist filma, koga tumači Alan Ladd, je američki mornarički pilot koji se vraća u Los Angeles nakon službe u Drugom svjetskom ratu te hvata suprugu u preljubu. Nakon što mu je supruga ubijena, protagonist postaje osumnjičeni te bježi pred policijom, nastojeći razotkriti pravog ubicu, pri čemu bi mu trag mogla pružiti bivša djevojka supruginog ljubavnika, koju tumači Veronica Lake.

Iako su film obilježili problemi sa Chandlerovim alkoholizmom, kao i Chandlerovi sukobi s glumicom Veronicom Lake, koju je posprdno nazivao "Moronica Lake", The Blue Dahlia je predstavljao veliki uspjeh. Današnji kritičari hvale izuzetan realizam, odnosno uvjerljivost koju pružaju cinični likovi, te prikaz dekadencije i začetaka poratnog ekonomskog buma u tadašnjoj Americi.
