Bare Knees is a 1928 American silent film comedy drama directed by Erle C. Kenton and starring Virginia Lee Corbin as Billie Durey, the family's black sheep, who returns to her small hometown causing a sensation with her short skirts, cigarettes and other "flapper" accoutrements.

An extant film, it is available on DVD (along with the 1928 Hairbreadth Harry comedy "Danger Ahead") from Grapevine Video, transferred from the only known 35mm nitrate print.
