Sestre iz Giona (祇園の姉妹, Gion no kyōdai^?) je japanski crno-bijeli film snimljen 1936. u režiji Kenjija Mizoguchija. Naslovne protagonistice - koje tumače Isuzu Yamada i Yōko Umemura - su dvije dvije sestre koje za život zarađuju kao gejše u Gionu, "četvrti zadooljstva" u gradu Kyoto. Radnja prikazuju kako svom poslu i odnosu sa klijentima pristupaju na različit način - starija se drži tradicionalnog profesionalizma, dok mlađa preferira zapadnu odjeću i pohlepno iskorištava muškarce - ali na kraju obje završe tragično. Sestre su godine 1937. dobile nagradu japanskog časopisa Kinema Jumpo. Kasnije je stekao veliku popularnost u feminističkim krugovima, s obzirom da je u njima shvaćen kao alegorija na trajno podređen odnos žena u japanskom i, općenito svakom patrijarhalnom, društvu.

Godine 1956. je snimljen istoimeni remake u režiji Hiromase Nomure.
