Zimbo is a 1958 Hindi action adventure film directed by Homi Wadia and produced by Basant Pictures. John Cawas, the earlier hero of most Wadia Movietone adventure films is credited in the title role of the film as associate director, with special effects by Babubhai Mistry.

The film was dubbed into Tamil with the same title and released in 1958. Aaroor Dass wrote the dialogues and Kuyilan penned the lyrics. Adapted music was composed by VijayaBhaskar.
