This is a list of films released by the American studio Chesterfield Pictures between its founding in 1925 and 1937 when it was absorbed into the larger Republic Pictures. The studio was a Poverty Row producer, distributing mainly low-budget second features. In 1932, it merged with another company Invincible Pictures, and distributed films put out under that name. In total Chesterfield handled more than a hundred films during its twelve-year existence.Pitts p.83
