Cruel Jaws (also known as Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws and The Beast) is a 1995 English-language Italian horror film directed by Bruno Mattei (under the pseudonym ‘William Snyder’). The film utilizes unauthorized footage from the Jaws film series, and was marketed in some regions as a sequel, though it has no official or narrative connections to the franchise.

The film was shot in Florida, including at the Theater of the Sea marine theme park in Islamorada. It was released direct-to-video on VHS and DVD in relative obscurity, mostly outside of the United States.
