Lenin in October Russian: Ленин в Октябре, Lenin v oktyabre is a 1937 Soviet biographical drama film directed by Mikhail Romm and Dmitriy Vasilev and starring Boris Shchukin, Nikolai Okhlopkov and Vasili Vanin. Made as a Soviet-realist propaganda work by the GOSKINO at the Mosfilm studio, it portrays the activities of Lenin at the time of the October Revolution. Josef Stalin was given a more prominent role in the film than he actually played in real life events of the time; after his death, all his scenes were expunged from the film for its reissue in 1958.

Stalin wanted a film that showed the October Revolution and the men responsible for it, just in time for its twentieth anniversary. As soon as Alexei Kapler's scenario was approved by the highest authorities, Lenin in October was put into production on August 10th, already late in the year. The only director available was Mikhail Romm. Lenin in October was ready for release on November 7th, only three months after the shooting commenced.
