'Tarzan, the Ape Man' is a 1981 adventure film directed by John Derek. It stars Bo Derek, Richard Harris, John Phillip Law and Miles O'Keeffe. The screenplay by Tom Rowe is loosely based on the novel Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs, but from the point of view of Jane Parker.

The original music score is composed by Perry Botkin Jr.. Former Tarzan actor Jock Mahoney, billed as Jack O'Mahoney, was the film's stunt coordinator. The film is marketed with the tagline Unlike any other "Tarzan" you've ever seen! The original actor cast in the "Tarzan" role was fired [or quit] early in production, resulting in the sudden casting of his stunt double, Miles O'Keeffe, in the title role.
