The Missing Links is a 1916 American silent crime film directed by Lloyd Ingraham and starring Thomas Jefferson, Elmer Clifton, and Robert Harron.[3]

The film tells of a murder in a small rural town. The major suspects are two brothers, Horace and Henry (Clifton and Harron). Each believes the other to be guilty, so confesses to save their brother.

The film was written by Bernard McConville and D. W. Griffith, who also produced it. It premiered on January 16, 1916 as a production of the Fine Arts Film Company. It was distributed by Triangle Distributing.[2][4] The Missing Links was Norma Talmadge's first film for Triangle.

It is now considered a lost film, as no known reels exist today.[2][4]
