The Loyal Rebel is a 1915 Australian silent film directed by Alfred Rolfe set against the background of the Eureka Rebellion.

[7] The film used some of the original records stored in the Mitchell Library, including the proclamation concerning the imposition of a monthly tax on the miners, the licences which were issued, and the first Australian flag, consisting of a piece of blue hunting and five stars of the Southern Cross.

[13] Arthur Wright says that director Alfired Rolfe "made a fine job of it, judged on the standard of the day, but though it was a good effort it did not pull big business.

"[9] A critic from The Sydney Morning Herald said that "while free use is made of a love romance to point a moral and adorn a tale, the most realistic of the scenes are those showing the rising of the miners on the Ballarat goldfield of 1854 and the fierce fight behind the stockade.

The play is full of life, and, considering the large number of people who figure in the action simultaneously, the 'staging' is excellent and the acting very satisfactory... One of the most striking features of the film is the faithful presentation of dress, goldfields, and life generally as they were 60 years ago, in the era of the top hat, the crinoline, the Wellington boot, and the Crimean shirt.
