Captain America is a 1979 American made-for-television superhero film loosely based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, directed by Rod Holcomb and starring Reb Brown. The film was followed by Captain America II: Death Too Soon, released the same year.

Although not widely seen, it influenced the comic books in a few ways, such as Steve Rogers's choice of vehicles and his skill in penciling illustration.
