Two Arabian Knights is a 1927 American comedy film, directed by Lewis Milestone and starring William Boyd and Mary Astor. A silent film, Two Arabian Knights was produced by Howard Hughes and was distributed by United Artists.

The plot centers on two American soldiers during the First World War, who escape from a German prison camp and face many adventures in Arabia.

The movie was filmed in the US and has a running time of 92 minutes. The supporting cast includes Louis Wolheim, Michael Vavitch, Ian Keith, and DeWitt Jennings. The screenwriters were James T. O'Donohue, Wallace Smith, and George Marion Jr. The film won an Academy Award for Best Comedy Direction.

The film was long thought lost before being located in Howard Hughes' film collection after his death. [1] A print was shepherded by Dr. Hart Wegner of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas film for restoration by Jeffrey Masino, along with two other "lost" Hughes-produced films, The Racket (1928) and The Mating Call (1928), both originally released by Paramount Pictures. In 2004 and 2006, Turner Classic Movies broadcast all three films, their first showings in decades.
