Tromba is a 1949 thriller film co-written and directed by Helmut Weiss and starring René Deltgen, Angelika Hauff and Gustav Knuth. It is a circus film with elements of film noir. It was one of the most popular West German films of the year, suggesting audiences appreciated a shift away from rubble films. It was made at the Bavaria Studios in Munich with sets designed by art director Ernst H. Albrecht. The film was released in the United States in 1952 as Tromba: the Tiger Man by Lippert Pictures.
