The Lone Trail is a 1932 American western film directed by Forrest Sheldon and Harry S. Webb and starring Rex Lease, Virginia Brown Faire and Jack Mower. It was produced as a second feature on Poverty Row. According to a modern source it partly used edited footage from the earlier serial The Sign of the Wolf, although no contemporary confirmation of this exists. It has strong similarities to the plot of the 1935 film Skull and Crown which was based on an earlier story James Oliver Curwood.
