Two Times Lotte (German: Das doppelte Lottchen) is a 1950 West German film, directed by Josef von Báky and starring Antje Weisgerber, Peter Mosbacher, Isa, and Jutta Günther.^[1] It was made by Bavaria Film at the Emelka Studios near Munich, and its sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Willy Schatz.

Based on the 1949 children's novel of the same name by Erich Kästner, who also provided the screenplay and narration, Two Times Lotte is a faithful adaptation of the book compared to Disney's better known version released eleven years later.

As with the novel, the film follows the story of Luise Palfy and Lotte Körner, identical twin girls who were separated at two years old when their parents, Ludwig Palfy and Luiselotte Körner, divorced and split them up. Reuniting at a German all-girls' summer camp seven and a half years later, the two sisters switch places to be with the parents they were parted from.
