Terry of the Times is a 1930 Universal film serial. It was the 73rd of the 137 serials released by the studio and the 5th to include sound elements. The serial was the last of Universal's part-sound serials, mostly silent productions with occasional recorded sound sequences. In this case, the serial had pre-recorded music and sound effects but no audible dialogue. The next serial released by the studio, The Indians are Coming, was an all-sound production. Terry of the Times is considered to be a lost film.

Terry (Reed Howes) must marry before a certain date in order to inherit the New York Times. Working against him are his uncle Macy (Sheldon Lewis) and mysterious villains The Mystic Mendicants.
