The Adventures of a Jungle Boy is a 1957 British syndicated adventure series. The show was known for its striking similarity to the Tarzan movie series.

A young boy is the sole survivor of a plane crash in the African jungle. He is found and raised, along with his pet cheetah, by Dr. Laurence, a research scientist. The series portrays their efforts to protect the jungle from outside threats and to save the jungle inhabitants from danger.

British actors guest starring in the series included Peter Dyneley, Patrick Holt, Conrad Phillips, David Oxley, Leonard Sachs, Robert Arden, Patricia Plunkett and Andrew Faulds.

Carr Hartley was the son of an animal-handler and performed all of the animal stunts himself. He later was part of "Carr-Hartley Safaris," a family business in Kenya.
