The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra (1928) is an American short silent experimental film. The film was indicated in Leeds Film Festival in November 2008, as a component of Back to the Electric Palace, with unrecorded music by Larry Goves, performed in association with Opera North.

The film was composed by Robert Florey, and steered by Florey and Slavko Vorkapich, and shot by Gregg Toland, later celebrated internationally for his cinematography on movies, for example, Citizen Kane (1941) and The Grapes of Wrath (1939). The film stars George Voya, Adriane Marsh, and Jules Raucourt.

In 1997, the film was chosen for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "socially, generally, or tastefully critical". The film has been restored and discharged on two DVD accumulations Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant Garde Film 1894-1941 and Avant-Garde: Experimental Cinema of the 1920s and 1930s.

The film recounts the story of a man who comes to Hollywood to turn into a star, just to come up short and be dehumanized. He is distinguished by the number 9413 composed on his brow, after which he kicks the bucket and goes to Heaven, where the number is evacuated.
