Tartuffe (Herr Tartüff) is a German silent film produced by Erich Pommer for UFA and released in 1926. It was directed by F. W. Murnau, photographed by Karl Freund and written by Carl Mayer from Molière's original play.

The film starred Emil Jannings as Tartuffe, Lil Dagover as Elmire and Werner Krauss as Orgon.

Although retaining the basic plot, Murnau and Mayer pared down Molière's play, eliminating most of the secondary characters and concentrating on the triangle of Orgon, Elmire and Tartuffe. They also introduced a framing device, whereby the story of Tartuffe becomes a film-within-a-film, shown by a young actor as a device to warn his grandfather about his unctuous but evil housekeeper.

Il nipote di Herr Ratt, un ricco ed anziano borghese, vorrebbe mettere in guardia il nonno dalle mire della avida governante del vecchio. A tale scopo gli proietta un film in cui si racconta del ricco Orgon, che sta per essere imbrogliato e derubato da Tartufo, falso ed ipocrita amico di famiglia; ma la truffa viene scoperta da Elmira, moglie di Orgon, che smaschera Tartufo con un altro piccolo imbroglio e rimette le cose al loro posto. In questo modo anche il vecchio Herr Ratt si rende conto di quello che sta accadendo intorno a lui. Written by rosebud6
