Girl No. 217 (Russian: Человек № 217, translit. Chelovek No. 217) is a 1945 Soviet drama film directed by Mikhail Romm. It was entered into the 1946 Cannes Film Festival.[1]

An anti-Nazi film, it depicted a Russian girl enslaved to an inhuman German family.[2] She is even robbed of her name and forced to answer to "No. 217".[3] Subplots depict abuse directed at other POWs.[3] This reflected the use by Nazis of OST-Arbeiter as slave labour, including as family servants.
