The Lion Has Wings (sh. Lav ima krila) je britanski crno-bijeli ratni film snimljen 1939. godine u režiji Michaela Powella, Briana Desmonda Hursta, Adriana Brunela i Alexander Korde, poznat kao jedno od prvih savezničkih propagadnih ostvarenja u Drugom svjetskom ratu.

Radnja filma se sastoji od nekoliko epizoda koje spaja protagonist, oficir britanskog Kraljevskog ratnog zrakoplovstva (RAF), a koga tumači Ralph Richardson, te koje, kombinirajući igrane scene sa dokumentarnim materijalom iz žurnala prikazuju RAF-ove aktivnosti u nedavno objavljenom ratu protiv nacističke Njemačke. Poruka filma je trebala pokazati da "lav", odnosno Britanija i njen imperij, zahvaljujući RAF-u raspolažu sa "krilima", odnosno prvi put se neprijateljima mogu uspješno suprotstaviti iz zraka. S obzirom da je rat bio počeo tek prije nekoliko mjeseci, autori su imali poteškoća u pronalaženju adekvatnog materijala - tako su neke od scena bombardiranja i zračnih bitaka rekonstruirane u studiju pomoću specijalnih efekata, a britanske i njemačke vojne avione su "glumili" zastarjeli dvokrilci i civilni avioni. Film se nije svidio ni njegovim autorima, uključujući Powella, koji ga je proglasio "sirovom" propagandom.

Američki ratni dopisnik Wiliam Shirer je, pak, u svojoj knjizi Berlin Diary navodi kako je nekoliko mjeseci kasnije taj isti film gledao u zgradi njemačkog Ministarstva propagande, na projekciji koju je bio organizirao nacistički ministar propagande Joseph Goebbels.
