Subterfuge is a 1912 American silent film drama produced by Chauncey D. Herbert.

The film status is uncertain but a release flier survives which is now at the Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

Frank Lang and Billy Snow are rivals for the hand of Ethel Gordon.

One day, while the rivals are on a fishing trip, near the summer resort at which they are guests, they come across Ethel busily engaged with paints and canvas at the edge of the stream.

Billy apparently reasons the same way for he buys a large fish from a boy whom he run across on the stream.
