Defenders of Riga (Latvian: Rīgas sargi) is a 2007 Latvian feature film directed by Aigars Grauba starring Elita Kļaviņa, Jānis Reinis, and Artūrs Skrastiņš. The film depicts the Latvian defense of Riga during its 1919 struggle for independence.

Already by the fifth week of screening, the film had become the most-watched Latvian film produced after the return of independence in 1991. By then, it had been viewed by over 123,000 people.[2]

The outdoor scenes of the film were shot at the Cinevilla backlot in Tukums, Latvia, a backlot built especially for Defenders of Riga.
