Three Wishes for Cinderella (Czech: Tři oříšky pro Popelku; German: Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel, also called in English Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella or Three Gifts for Cinderella) is a 1973 Czechoslovak-East German film based on the fairy-tale Cinderella.

It was directed by Václav Vorlíček in a co-production between DEFA-Studio für Spielfilme and Barrandov Studios. The story was based on the fairy tale O Popelce written by Božena Němcová (a Bohemian variation of the classic Cinderella fairytale). It still remains a popular Christmas holiday film in many European countries.[1]
