Mother Machree is a 1928 American synchronized sound drama film directed by John Ford that is based on the 1924 work The Story of Mother Machree by Rida Johnson Young about a poor Irish immigrant in America.

While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score, singing and sound effects using the sound-on-film movietone process.

Rida Johnson Young had invented Mother Machree in the stage show Barry of Ballymoore in 1910.

In November, it was announced that it would premiere on December 12, 1926, tying in with the marketing campaign of the music and discs of the title song.
