Kathleen Mavourneen is a 1930 American pre-Code sound/talking film directed by Albert Ray, stars Sally O'Neil and produced and distributed by Tiffany Pictures, and is the first talking film version of the oft-filmed Dion Boucicault play.

The last version prior to this film was a 1919 silent Fox film starring Theda Bara. Sally O'Neil would star in the 1937 all-Irish version of the story, thereby filming the story twice.[1]

The film's sets were designed by the art director Hervey Libbert. Prints of the film are held by the Library of Congress.[2]
