G. I. Blues je američki filmski mjuzikl snimljen 1960. godine u režiji Normana Tauroga. Protagonist, koga tumači Elvis Presley, je američki vojnik koji kao tenkist služi u 3. oklopnoj diviziji u tadašnjoj Zapadnoj Njemačkoj, ali se u slobodno vrijeme bavi pjevanjem i zabavlja svoje drugove. Radnja prikazuje kako zajedno sa njima sklapa okladu kako će uspjesti zavesti "nedostižnu" plesačicu iz noćnog kluba (čiji lik tumači Juliet Prowse).
Poticaj za snimanje filma je bilo stvarno Presleyevo služenje vojnog roka, koje mu dalo dodatni publicitet, a koga su producenti nastojali iskoristiti, pa su tako stvorili scenarij oko njegovog fiktivnog alter ega. Snimanje je tako započelo dok je Presley još uvijek služio vojni rok, iako u njemu nije lično sudjelovao sve dok se nije vratio među civile; usprkos toga je Vojska SAD producentima izašla u susret "posudivši" im tenkove i druga oklopna vozila za pojedine scene. Tokom snimanja je Presley, pak, imao kratku vezu sa svojom filmskom partnericom Prowse.
Nakon premijere je G. I. Blues doživio izvrstan komercijalni uspjeh, te je raspršio sve sumnje da Presley nakon vojne službe neće moći biti filmska zvijezda. Isti taj uspjeh je, međutim, na duži rok zapečatio njegovu karijeru; iako je Presley htio glumiti u ozbiljnim dramskim filmovima kao Plamteća zvijezda, hjegov menadžer Tom Parker je smatrao da su mu daleko isplativiji nastupi u "laganim" muzičkim komedijama kao G. I. Blues, te koje će snimati do kraja svoje karijere.
