The Mystery of the Mary Celeste is a 1935 British mystery film, based on the real life mystery of the merchant ship of the same name whose crew completely vanished without a trace. The film itself is a fictionalized account framing the event as a murder mystery. It was notable for being one of the earliest films made by Hammer Film Productions, and for starring Bela Lugosi, making it his only collaboration with the studio.

When the film was distributed in the United States, it was shortened from the original 80 minute run-time to 62 minutes and re-titled Phantom Ship. This is the version of the film that currently survives.
