'Dr. Hart's Diary' (German: 'Das Tagebuch des Dr. Hart') is a 1917 German silent war film directed by Paul Leni and starring Heinrich Schroth, Kthe Haack and Dagny Servaes. The film depicts a German field hospital in occupied Russian Poland during the ongoing First World War.

The film was created as part of a major effort to propagandize the German-Polish friendship that leads to the re-establishment of Poland by German forces in late 1916. It was produced by Paul Davidson's PAGU in association with the propaganda agency BUFA. Shortly afterwards, hoping to produce a number of similar films, the German government founded UFA which PAGU merged into.Prawer p.4
