The Public Life of Henry the Ninth (1935) is a British comedy film directed by Bernard Mainwaring and starring Leonard Henry, Betty Frankiss, and George Mozart.

It is set largely in the bar of the Henry VIII public house, with the title alluding to the 1933 Oscar-winning film The Private Life of Henry VIII.
Originally released in 1935 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it was released again in 1940, this time by Exclusive.[1]
