Hoop-La is a 1933 American Pre-Code drama film starring Clara Bow in what was her final film role. It was directed by Frank Lloyd and released by Fox Film Corporation, with Preston Foster, Richard Cromwell, and Minna Gombell also in the cast. The film is based on the play The Barker by Kenyon Nicholson, which was also filmed in 1928 under the same title as the play.
A version restored by the Museum of Modern Art was shown at the 2011 Classic Film Festival in Hollywood during the spring.
Clara Bow plays a Hoochie coochie dancer for a travelling fair, who seduces Richard Cromwell, the son of a sideshow barker (Preston Foster), in order to win a bet, but ends up falling in love with him.

The same story was remade in 1945 as Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe starring Betty Grable.
