Cigarette Girl is a 1947 musical comedy film directed by Gunther von Fritsch to a story by Edward Huebsch and screenplay by Henry K. Moritz.[1] The film stars Leslie Brooks, Jimmy Lloyd, , and Ludwig Donath. Music was provided by Russ Morgan and his orchestra. The film was described as "a revamping of the Cinderella theme".[2]

Shooting was scheduled to begin on September 9, 1946.[3] The film was first released on February 6, 1947 at Loew's as a second feature to Dead Reckoning which starred Humphrey Bogart.[2]

Reception of the film was lackluster, with Wanda Hale of the Daily News giving it two stars and describing it as "a sentimental, indifferent comedy".[4]
