Nihongo|Ganbaron|小さなスーパーマン ガンバロン|Chīsana Sūpāman Ganbaron was a 1977 Japanese tokusatsu live action television show featuring Japan's own version of American superhero Superman.

Teru Tendou is a young reporter for the Shonen Times. In times of trouble, he could transform into Ganbaron and save the day. The plot revolved mostly around Teru keeping his identity a secret from his friends.

The opening narration was "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Ganbaron! Faster than a Shinkansen! Stronger than Kaiju!" Similar to Tetsujin 28-go and Giant Robo, Ganbaron could call a giant robot named Daibaron ("big baron"). Unlike those two however, Daibaron was a combining robot similar to Getter Robo or Golion/Voltron. The show was sponsored by Bullmark which advertised toys based on the show, such as the "Zincron Deluxe Daibaron".
