Sleepy Lagoon is a 1943 American musical comedy film directed by Joseph Santley and featuring comedian Judy Canova and singer Dennis Day. The film was written by Prescott Chaplin, and Frank Gill, Jr. and George Carleton Brown wrote the screenplay. It was Canova's final feature for Republic until 1951.

While closely coincident in time, the movie was entirely unrelated to the Sleepy Lagoon murder that led to the Zoot Suit Riots, nor to the song that lent its name to that incident.

Plot

Newly elected mayor Judy Joyner takes charge of a growing but corrupt small town.
