The Toll of the Sea was a motion picture produced by the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation, and released by Metro Pictures in 1922. It was the sixth color feature, the second Technicolor feature, the first color feature made in Hollywood, and the first color feature anywhere that did not require a special projector to be shown. The original camera negative survives except for the final reel, making it one of the best examples today of the two-color Technicolor process.

The Toll of the Sea was written by Frances Marion and directed by Chester M. Franklin, with the lead roles played by Anna May Wong and Kenneth Harlan. The plot was a variation of the Madame Butterfly story, reset in China instead of Japan.
