Cat-Women of the Moon is a 1953 American Independent black-and-white three-dimensional science-fiction film, produced by Jack Rabin and Al Zimbalist, directed by Arthur Hilton, that stars Sonny Tufts, Victor Jory, and Marie Windsor. The film was released on September 3, 1953 in Los Angeles by Astor Pictures.

The musical score was composed by Academy Award–winner Elmer Bernstein, whose name is misspelled as "Bernstien" in the opening credits. The spider puppet effects were handled by Wah Chang, and Harry Thomas handled Make-up. Some moonscapes were done from Chesley Bonestell paintings. Special effects were by Jack Rabin and Al Zimbalist, and William Glasgow was Art Director.

Cat-Women of the Moon was remade in 1958 as Missile to the Moon by producer Richard Cunha.
