The Governor's Daughter is a 1910 American silent short drama produced by the Thanhouser Company.

The story details a convict who is being sent to prison when the train is wrecked and the sheriff escorting him is killed.

The film received praise for the before and after scenes which were described as shocking to The Moving Picture World's reviewer.

It states: "Bill Raymond, a convict, sentenced to a long term, is on his way to prison, in custody of the sheriff.

Bill takes the key of the handcuffs from the pocket of the dead man, frees himself, and is about to escape, when he notices that the little girl, abandoned by her nurse, is lying unconscious in the car, which is now on fire.

Lonergan was an experienced newspaperman employed by The New York Evening World while writing scripts for the Thanhouser productions.

Blair Smith was the first cameraman of the Thanhouser company, but he was soon joined by Carl Louis Gregory who had years of experience as a still and motion picture photographer.

They made you shiver when they showed you the fate that came to a car full of passengers – sudden, cruel and without warning.

This list also records the existence of two films bearing the same name, one from Selig Polyscope and the other from the Éclair American Company.
