Adventures of Pow Wow is an animated cartoon that was broadcast locally in New York City in 1949 and later on the Captain Kangaroo show during the 1950s.

The cartoon featured the pre-adolescent Native-American boy Pow Wow, as well as the tribe's medicine man, and a Native-American girl who was a friend of Pow Wow's. The cartoons often centered on Pow Wow's discovery of an animal, hurt or otherwise, and his attempts to protect the forest and wildlife from various threats. When Pow Wow needed help in these missions, he would seek counsel from the wise medicine man.

The Adventures of Pow Wow first aired on January 30, 1949, on WNBT-TV in New York. With episodes of 15 minutes, the cartoon was broadcast Sunday mornings until March 13, 1949.

The cartoon reappeared on the children's show Captain Kangaroo in 1956 and was syndicated by Screen Gems. It continued on Captain Kangaroo as a series of five-minute episodes until 1958. The cartoons were then once again syndicated and appeared locally in New York and Chicago.

The cartoon began with this theme song:
