The Star of Bethlehem is a 1912 American silent film produced by Edwin Thanhouser and Charles J. Hite, and featuring Florence La Badie, James Cruze, and William Russell.

Directed by Lawrence Marston, the entire film is staged as brief tableaux.

With much of the original lost (only 15 minutes survive), the existing footage can be difficult to interpret as a coherent whole.

The cast was headed by Florence La Badie as Mary, James Cruze as Joseph, with William Russell as King Herod.

[1] In later life, La Badie described her role of Mary as the favorite of her career.
