Das Kabinett des Dr. Larifari ("The Cabinet of Dr. Larifari") is a 1930 German comedy film directed by Robert Wohlmuth and starring Max Hansen, Paul Morgan and Carl Jöken. The film is a parody of the German Film industry of the era. Its title is a reference to the 1919 expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

It's also one of the earliest known German talkie film after Melody of the Heart (released some in the late 1920s) and also to spoof someone films of the 1920s silent german film to do so on and also considered it with some little of musical film.
