The Greatest Show on Earth (naslov preveden kao Najveća predstava na svijetu) je američki igrani film snimljen 1952. u režiji Cecilea B. De Millea. Radnja je smještena u cirkus kompanije Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus te prikazuje kako živote tamošnjih uposlenika, tako i nastojanje menadžera (čiji lik tumači Charlton Heston) da riješi strahovite logističke probleme koje svakodnevno postavlja redovno održavanje spektakularnih točaka. Film je doživio ogroman uspjeh i imao povoljne kritike, a nagrađen je i Oscarom za najbolji film. Kasniji kritičari su, međutim, proglasili The Greatest Show on Earth "jednim od najgorih oskarovskih pobjednika" i ukazali da su iste godine prestižnu nagradu više zaslužili naslovi kao Miran čovjek i Točno u podne. Odluka glasača Akademije se tumačila nastojanjem da se ostarjeloj hollywoodskoj legendi DeMilleu oda počast, ali i političkim obzirima vezanim uz makartističke progone i DeMilleove tada "ispravne" desničarske stavove.
