The Tsarevich (German: Der Zarewitsch) is a 1929 German silent historical film directed by Jacob Fleck and Luise Fleck and starring Iván Petrovich, Marietta Millner and Albert Steinrück.[1] The film's sets were designed by Willi Herrmann.

Like the 1927 operetta Der Zarewitsch by Franz Lehár it is based on a play by Gabriela Zapolska, inspired by the troubled relationship between Peter the Great and his son Tsarevich Alexei.
