The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands is a 1927 British docudrama film directed by Walter Summers.

In 2014 the BFI National Archive restored the film for the centenary of the events with a new score composed by Simon Dobson.
To counter the German squadron, the Royal Navy sent two battle-cruisers - Inflexible and Invincible - to the South Atlantic.
In December 1914, the British battle-cruisers, accompanied by smaller ships, engaged the German squadron during the Battle of the Falkland Islands and sank the German armoured cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau near the Falkland Islands.
