'''''Tennessee's Partner''''' is a 1955 American [[Western (genre)|Western]] film, directed by [[Allan Dwan]], written by: [[C. Graham Baker|Graham Baker]], D.D. Beauchamp, [[Milton Krims]] and [[Teddi Sherman]], with uncredited rewrites by Dwan, and starring: [[John Payne (actor)|John Payne]], [[Ronald Reagan]], [[Rhonda Fleming]] and [[Coleen Gray]].

The film was released by [[RKO Radio Pictures]], which was then owned by industrialist [[Howard Hughes]]. While the film is based upon one of [[Bret Harte]]'s most popular short stories, "[[Tennessee's Partner (short story)|Tennessee’s Pardner]]", it departs significantly from the original storyline. The 1869 Harte story has also been filmed as ''[[Tennessee's Pardner]]'' (1916), ''[[The Flaming Forties]]'' (1924) and ''[[The Golden Princess]]'' (1925).
