"The Gray Nun of Belgium" was a 1915 film announced for release on the Alliance Program by Dramatic Feature Films, Frank Joslyn Baum's short-lived successor to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company.

Despite the advertising in "Motion Picture News" announcing its release date, Katharine Rogers, in "L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz", believes that Alliance found the film inferior and refused to distribute it. The exhibition copy, which may have been a work print, may have been the only copy ever struck.

In the film, Betty Pierce played a Mother Superior who aided allied soldiers during the Great War.
