"The Alligator People" is a 1959 science fiction horror film directed by Roy Del Ruth.

The film follows a scientist who, as a result of a lab experiment involving alligator hormones gone awry, transforms injured men into alligator-human hybrids. The main monster (Paul Webster) runs amok, but in the end falls into quicksand. The film is set in the Southern United States and is one of many monster B-movies released in the era.
