"Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins" is a Tarzan novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs written for younger readers. It was originally published in two segments, "The Tarzan Twins" in 1927, and "Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins, with Jad-Bal-Ja, the Golden Lion" in 1936. These were brought together in 1963 under the title of "Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins" in the first complete edition.

While the book falls chronologically between "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle" and "Tarzan and the Lost Empire", and introduces a family that figures prominently in the latter novel, its juvenile status has led to its customary omission from listings of the Tarzan series. Thus "Tarzan and the Lost Empire" is generally considered the twelfth Tarzan book rather than "Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins".
