The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) is an American pre-Code melodrama and proto-noir film directed by Phil Goldstone. It is based on the short story "Burnt Offering" by W. Maxwell Goodhue. The screen credit states based on a stage play by Goodhue (production undetermined).

Music cues 'Nora Theme' and 'Love Theme,' composed by Heinz Roemheld and introduced in this film, were used in other films produced by numerous low-budget studios in the mid-1930s, including Universal and Republic.

The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote, "It might have been gripping if it weren't so confusing."

The Sin of Nora Moran (1933) is also known as Voice from the Grave (American reissue title). Since the protagonist is put to death for a crime she did not commit, some see the film as an argument against capital punishment.
