Korg: 70,000 B.C. is a 30-minute Saturday morning live-action television series created by Fred Freiberger, narrated by Burgess Meredith and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions which was broadcast on ABC from September 7, 1974 to August 30, 1975.

Korg featured the adventures of a family of Neanderthals during the Ice Age. It was intended to be educational, and was based on the best then-current research about Neanderthal life, except where its situations had to be watered down for a young audience which Hanna, Barbera, and the network feared might be terrified without such expurgation.

A board game of the same title was produced by the US toy company Milton Bradley as a direct tie-in. Charlton Comics published a Korg comic book from May 1975 to November 1976. The series was written and drawn by Pat Boyette, and lasted for 9 issues.

The American Museum of Natural History and The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History served as consultants to the series.

The complete series was released by Warner Archive on December 11, 2012.
