The Dairymaid of St Kathrein or The Milkmaid of St. Kathrein (German: Die Sennerin von St. Kathrein) is a 1955 Austrian drama film directed by Herbert B. Fredersdorf and starring Anita Gutwell, Rudolf Lenz and Rudolf Carl.[1] It is a heimatfilm, inspired by the success of the earlier The Forester of the Silver Wood which featured the same leading actors. Another film, Forest Liesel, was made in 1956 by Fredersdorf.

The film's sets were designed by the art director Fritz Jüptner-Jonstorff. It was partly shot in the state of Salzburg.
