The Orkly Kid is a 1985 underground comedy short subject directed by Trent Harris. It stars Crispin Glover as "Groovin' Larry", a teenager obsessed with Olivia Newton-John. Glover organises a talent show in the small fictional town of Orkly, Idaho, in hopes of achieving stardom by impersonating her.

The short is part three of director Trent Harris' The Beaver Trilogy. The film has never seen an official home video or DVD release due to its unlicensed use of songs by Newton-John.

Director Harris would go on to direct Glover in Rubin and Ed.
