Judge Priest (sh. Sudac Priest) je američka crno-bijela filmska komedija, snimljen 1934. u režiji Johna Forda. Temelji se po motivima proze Irvinga S. Cobba, a naslovni protagonist, koga tumači Will Rogers, je sudac u južnjačkom gradiću, koji pomaže svom nećaku da se oženi s pravom djevojkom i vodi proces protiv kovača s nepoznatom prošlošću. Radnja je smještena u 1890. godinu, u doba iza Rekonstrukcije, te film sadrži brojne reference na građanski rat, kao i romantično-idealistični prikaz Konfederacije za koju su se borili protagonisti. Kasniji kritičari su, pogotovo zbog nastupa crnog glumca Stepina Fetchita, zamjerali rasističke predrasude kao i idealizirani prikaz rasnih odnosa na tadašnjem Jugu. Usprkos toga je dobio brojne pohvale zbog humora i dobre režije. Smatra se jednim od najboljih ostvarenja u filmografiji Willa Rogersa, koji je sljedeće godine poginuo u avionskoj nesreći.
