Cordula is a 1950 Austrian drama film directed by Gustav Ucicky and starring Paula Wessely, Attila Hörbiger and Jane Tilden.[1] It is based on a 1925 poem by Anton Wildgans about a woman in a small town who falls pregnant to a local forester serving in the Austrian Army during the First World War.

The film was the made by Wessely's independent production company, and was the sixth time she had appeared in a film directed by Usicky. It was partly shot on location in the vicinity of Vorau in Styria, using locals as extras.
