Abraham Lincoln is a biographical film about former American president Abraham Lincoln, released in 1930. It was directed by D. W. Griffith and starred Walter Huston and Una Merkel. It is sometimes known by the title D. W. Griffith's 'Abraham Lincoln'. This was the first of only two sound films made by Griffith; it was not a hit at the time, but in more recent years it has come to be regarded as the definitive film on the president.
The film is listed in the book The Fifty Worst Films of All Time.
