The Devil Worshippers (German: Die Teufelsanbeter) is a six-chapter 1920 silent German film directed by Marie Luise Droop and featuring Carl de Vogt in the title-role of Kara Ben Nemsi. Later horror-star Béla Lugosi is being seen in one of his first supporting roles in a film. The film was an adaptation of an chapter from the novel "Durch die Wüste" (Through the Desert) of German author Karl May.

This film was the first of a trilogy of the production company "Ustad-Film" with main actor Carl de Vogt, but only came as third into the cinemas. In several scenes, this black-and-white film has some coloring, e.g. blue for night scenes.

The film is said to have premiered on 2 January 1921 at "Vaters Lichtspiele" at Würzburg but the first showing is only documented for 14 January 1921 at Wilhelmsburg.

The film is now considered to be lost.
