Lakko (Стачка, Statška) on Sergei Eisensteinin ohjaama neuvostoliittolainen mykkäelokuva, joka valmistui vuonna 1925. Elokuvan valmisteluissa Eisenstein keräsi tarkkoja tietoja vuoden 1912 lakon tapahtumista ja perehtyi sekä sen taustoihin että seurauksiin. Lisäksi hän suunnitteli etukäteen kuvauksia, jotta kuvausten alkaessa kaikki olisi mahdollisimman valmista. Eisenstein hylkäsi tyypillisen, henkilöhahmoihin keskittyvän kerronnan ja kuvasi sen sijaan suuria massoja.
