"The Trial of Joan of Arc" (French: "Procès de Jeanne d'Arc") is a 1962 historical film by the French director Robert Bresson. Joan of Arc is played by Florence Delay.

As usual in Bresson's mature films, "The Trial of Joan of Arc" stars non-professional performers and is filmed in an extremely spare, restrained style. The lines of Bresson's screenplay are taken directly from the minutes of Joan's trial and rehabilitation.

Bresson's "Joan of Arc" is often compared with "The Passion of Joan of Arc" (1928) by Carl Theodor Dreyer. Bresson compared that film unfavorably with his own, expressing his dislike of the actors' "grotesque buffooneries" in Dreyer's film.Fact|date=September 2007
