The Big Chance is a 1933 American Pre-Code crime film directed by Albert Herman. It was produced by the independent Eagle Pictures and released on the states-rights market.

'Knockout Morgan', an up-and-coming boxer, is matched against the world champion, but his corrupt manager, 'Flash', orders him to throw the fight - he'll make more money that way. To ensure Morgan's compliance, he kidnaps Morgan's girlfriend's young brother. In the nick of time, Morgan and his girlfriend rescue him, and Morgan takes to the ring. He wins the fight.
