Persons in Hiding is a 1939 American crime film directed by Louis King and written by William R. Lipman and Horace McCoy. The film stars Lynne Overman, Patricia Morison, J. Carrol Naish, William "Bill" Henry, Helen Twelvetrees and William Frawley. The film was released on February 10, 1939, by Paramount Pictures.[1][2]

It was one of several films that were based on the book Persons in Hiding, credited to J. Edgar Hoover, but generally believed to have been ghosted by Courtney Ryley Cooper.

It was a fictionalization of the pursuit of Machine Gun Kelly and his wife, Kathryn, with elements of Bonnie and Clyde.
