The Pittsburgh Kid is a 1941 American sports film directed by Jack Townley and starring Billy Conn, Jean Parker and Dick Purcell.

About to fight his biggest bout, Billy Conn is upset by the death of Pop Mallory, his manager.

Meanwhile, nightclub owner Joe Barton resents the interest his girl Barbara Ellison has been showing Billy, neither knowing nor carry that it's all a ruse on her part on her father's behalf.

Billy finally gets a title shot, thanks to Pat's management and reporter Cliff Halliday's enthusiastic buildup.

By the time he can get released, Pat isn't there on fight night and Billy's first round goes badly.
