Die Ratten (The Rats) is a 1955 West German drama film directed by Robert Siodmak. It is an adaptation of the 1911 play The Rats by Gerhart Hauptmann, but transferred the story to the early 1950s, shortly after the Second World War. It tells the story of the destitute Polish woman Pauline, who sells her illegitimate baby for a few hundred Deutsche Mark to the childless Anna John.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach and Rolf Zehetbauer. ()
