Orphan of the Wilderness is a 1936 Australian feature film from director Ken G. Hall about the adventures of a boxing kangaroo. It starred Brian Abbot who disappeared at sea not long after filming completed.

Ken Hall later said "the fauna sequences...were really artistic. That film developed so that you had the deepest possible sympathy for those animals and there was nothing phony or faked about it. It was quite beautiful and quite artistic and I’m still very proud of it and the magnificent photographic work of George Heath... that film was very successful commercially both here and overseas. True the human actors weren’t nearly as good as the kangaroos. They lacked the artistry of the uninhibited fauna."
