The Secret of the Telegian (電送人間, Densō Ningen) (lit.'The Electrically Transmitted Man') is a 1960 tokusatsu science fiction-horror and mystery film directed by Jun Fukuda, with special effects by Eiji Tsuburaya. It is the second film in Toho's Transforming Human Series, after The H-Man (1958) and followed by The Human Vapor (1960).

Herts-Lion International Corp. acquired the Western Hemisphere rights to the film in January 1964 and planned to release it theatrically in the United States. This proposed U.S. theatrical release was aborted, and the film was subsequently syndicated to television. Besides being in black and white, the TV prints were identical to Toho's uncut international English version, dubbing and all.
