Lady Terminator (Indonesian: Pembalasan ratu pantai selatan) is a 1989 Indonesian fantasy horror action film directed by H. Tjut Djalil, under the pseudonym of Jalil Jackson. The film stars Barbara Anne Constable, Christopher J. Hart, and Claudia Angelique Rademaker, and is considered to be a rip-off of the 1984 American film The Terminator.

The Queen of the South Sea, an ancient sex goddess, seduces men before using a serpent that resides in her vagina to devour their penises. One man manages to grab the serpent, turning it into a dagger. Enraged, the Queen waits on the ocean floor for a century. In 1989, an anthropologist named Tania is investigating the legend of the Queen of the South Sea, which results in her diving to the Queen's resting place, being bound to a bed, and violated by a serpent, which allows the Queen to take control of her.

Tania goes on a rampage, massacring civilians in a nightclub and pursuing the descendant of the man who defeated the Queen—an aspiring pop star named Erica. A New York detective named Max McNeil investigates the murders and meets Erica, and after escaping the grip of Tania, they have sex in a forest. Tania then attacks the police headquarters, shooting and killing numerous officers, and is burned in a car explosion.

The film was produced for the local Indonesian market and was released in Indonesia in 1989. The film was screened at the Toronto Underground Film Festival in 2010, the Belfast Film Festival in Ireland in 2014, and at the Offscreen Film Festival in Belgium in 2017.

Cliff Doerksen of The Chicago Reader called the film "the kind of movie best randomly discovered on cable at 4 AM, but if you dig guys with mullets, director H. Tjut Djalil has some serious treats in store for you". Kyle Anderson of Nerdist wrote that the "movie isn’t good, but it’s totally worth watching because of how baffling it is".
