Lucy of the Southern Rainbow (南の虹のルーシー Minami no niji no rūshī?, "Lucy of the Southern Rainbow") is a Japanese anime series by Nippon Animation. The 1982 adaptation of the studio's popular World Masterpiece Theater franchise, the anime is based on Southern Rainbow by Australian writer Phyllis Piddington (1910–2001), and tells the story of a young girl named Lucy and the hardships and excitement she and her family encounter when they move from England to Australia to start a farm.

The anime has been dubbed into French (Karine, l'aventure du Nouveau Monde), Italian (Lucy May), Arabic (Lucy), Spanish (Lucy) , German (Lucy in Australien)and persian (emigrants).

One interesting note is that this was the only World Masterpiece Theater series to be produced while the original creator of the story (Phyllis Piddington) was still alive. Another adaptation of the story, written by Ken Wakasaki as a tie-in to the anime, was also published in Japan in 1982.
