Lady Sings the Blues (sh. Dama pjeva blues) je američki biografski film snimljen 1972. godine u režiji Sidneya J. Furieja. Glavni lik, koji u svojoj debitantskoj ulozi tumači Diana Ross, je znamenita crna jazz i blues pjevačica Billie Holiday. Radnja prikazuje njen život od 1928. do 1944. godine, sa posebnim naglaskom na tragične posljedice rasističkih predrasuda i ovisnosti o narkoticima. Lady Sings the Blues je bio jedan od ambicioznijih i prestižnijih projekata tadašnjeg Hollywooda, te je, kombinirajući društvenu angažiranost i angažman pjevačice Diane Ross na vrhuncu njene popularnosti, doživio izuzetan uspjeh. Uz sam film je izdan i uspješan soundtrack album.
