A Severa is a Portuguese 1931 film, directed by Leitão de Barros, famous for being the first Portuguese all-talking sound film, a biopic of the fado singer Maria Severa Onofriana, known as A Severa, based on the novel by Júlio Dantas.

The film is rarely seen today, and doesn't have the popularity of other films of the 1930s, seen as the golden era of Portuguese cinema.
