Twist Around the Clock is an American musical film released in 1961. It was a remake of Sam Katzman and Robert E. Kent's Rock Around the Clock. Like Rock Around the Clock, which was followed by a sequel titled, Don't Knock the Rock, this film was followed by a sequel titled, Don't Knock the Twist.

A struggling manager visits a hayseed town and discovers a new dance craze, "the Twist" and hopes to turn it into an overnight nationwide sensation.
