Flamingo Road is a 1949 American drama film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Joan Crawford, Zachary Scott, Sydney Greenstreet and David Brian. Based on a play by Robert and Sally Wilder, the film was adapted into a 1980s American television series, Flamingo Road.

Lane Bellamy is a dancer in a carnival who is stranded in a small town in the Southern United States. She first becomes romantically involved with the local deputy sheriff, Fielding Carlisle, whose career is controlled by Sheriff Titus Semple, a corrupt political boss who runs the town. Titus mounts a campaign against her. She has difficulty finding work and is arrested on a morality charge. Eventually, she finds work as a hostess at a roadhouse run by Lute Mae. There, she meets Dan Reynolds, a political opponent of Titus. She charms Dan into marrying her, and the couple moves to the town's best neighborhood, Flamingo Road. A drunken Fielding then calls on the couple and commits suicide, giving Titus another weapon in his bid to ruin Lane and her husband.
