Chesterfield Motion Pictures Corporation, generally shortened to Chesterfield Pictures, was an American film production company of the 1920s and 1930s. Its low-budget films were intended as second features, which played on the lower-half of a double bill. The company was headed by George R. Batcheller, and worked in tandem with its sister studio, Invincible, which was led by Maury Cohen.^[1] The production company never owned its own studio and so rented space at a variety of other studios, primarily Universal Pictures and RKO.^[2]

It was one of a number of Poverty Row studios taken over by Herbert Yates in 1935 and merged into his newly formed Republic Pictures in an attempt to create a dominant low-budget producer with enough power to take on the major studios.^[3] Republic was more or less successful in achieving this over the next twenty years.
