Adventures of Captain Marvel is a 1941 American 12-chapter black-and-white movie serial from Republic Pictures. The serial was produced by Hiram S. Brown, Jr., directed by John English and William Witney, starring Tom Tyler as Captain Marvel and Frank Coghlan, Jr. as his alter ego, Billy Batson. It was adapted from the popular Captain Marvel comic book character, who at the time appeared in the Fawcett Comics publications Whiz Comics and Captain Marvel Adventures (though today the character is owned by DC Comics).

Adventures of Captain Marvel was the 21st of 66 film serials produced by Republic and their first comic book character adaptation (not counting comic strips). The serial featured the Fawcett Comics superhero, placed within an original screen story. It is considered the first comic book superhero movie. Captain Marvel fights a masked criminal mastermind called the Scorpion, who is determined to gain control of an ancient weapon. It is made in the form of a large metallic scorpion with adjustable legs, tail, and removable lenses that must be properly aligned in order to activate its powerful ray.
