Under the Frozen Falls is a 1948 British children's film directed by Darrell Catling and starring Harold Warrender, Jacques Brown and Ray Jackson.

The original screenplay was written by Mary Cathcart Borer as a film for children. It was later adapted as a book by J. H. Martin Cross.[1] A party of boys who collect lead from a disused lead mine in Somerset for model making become involved with the kidnappers of a distinguished scientist. Lost secret plans and misadventures with dynamite add a thrill to the story.

The film was one of the four of David Rawnsley's films that used his "independent frame" technique, a form of back projection.
