The Emperor's Candlesticks (German: Die Leuchter des Kaisers) is a 1936 Austrian historical adventure film directed by Karl Hartl and starring Sybille Schmitz, Karl Ludwig Diehl and Friedl Czepa. It is an adaptation of the 1899 novel The Emperor's Candlesticks by Baroness Orczy. A Hollywood film version of the story The Emperor's Candlesticks was released the following year.

It was shot at Sascha Film's Sievering Studios and Rosenhügel Studios in Vienna. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Kurt Herlth, Werner Schlichting and Emil Stepanek. It premiered at the Gloria-Palast in Berlin, and a month later in Vienna.

Reception

Writing for The Spectator in 1936, Graham Greene gave the film a mildly good review, summarizing the audience experience as "good direction, fair acting, and the attractively Baker Street dresses make this a pleasant film to doze at."
