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.
