Bathing Beauty is a 1944 American musical romantic comedy film directed by George Sidney and starring Red Skelton and Esther Williams.

Although this was not Williams' screen debut, it was her first Technicolor musical. The film's working title was Mr. Co-Ed, with Skelton having top billing. However, once MGM executives watched the first cut of the film, they realized that Williams' role should be showcased more, and changed the title to Bathing Beauty, giving her prominent billing and featuring her bathing suit-clad figure on the posters.

The film is also Janis Paige's film debut. Afterwards Paige would go to Warner Brothers to make such films as Of Human Bondage, Hollywood Canteen, and Romance on the High Seas. In the late 1950s, Paige would return to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for a few films.
