Le Comte Ugolino (titre original : Il conte Ugolino) est un film italien réalisé en 1908 par Giovanni Pastrone. Ce film muet en noir et blanc est l'adaptation cinématographique de la vie du comte Ugolin della Gherardesca, passé à la postérité pour avoir servi de modèle au héros damné de la Divine Comédie de Dante ; emprisonné avec ses quatre fils et condamné à mourir de faim, Ugolin essaye alors de se soustraire à son sort en dévorant ses propres enfants.
