Sunshine Nan is a surviving 1918 American silent comedy drama film starring Ann Pennington and directed by Charles Giblyn. It is based on the novel Calvary Alley by Alice Hegan Rice. It was produced by Famous Players-Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures.

As described in a film magazine, Nance Molloy (Pennington) and Dan Lewis (Hines), children of the slums, are sweethearts. They become mixed up in the death of a neighbor and are sent to reform school. Upon their release they are employed at the Clark Shoe Factory. MacPherson Clark (Barthelmess), son of the owner of the factory, endeavors to steal the formula of a dye developed by Dan, but Nan frustrates his efforts. The patent for the dye brings wealth to Nan and Dan and they are wed.
