Devil Hunter (also known as The Man Hunter, Mandingo Manhunter, Jungfrau unter Kannibalen and Sexo Caníbal) is a 1980 horror film directed by Jesús Franco under the pseudonym "Clifford Brown" and written by Franco and Julián Esteban (under the pseudonym Julius Valery). It was shot back-to-back with Franco's Mondo Cannibale (also 1980). It is one of the infamous "video nasties" that were banned in the United Kingdom in the 1980s.

Lina Romay was credited with co-directing this film, while Franco's first wife Nicole Guettard edited it. This shows that Franco was still with Guettard as late as 1980 (eventually they broke up and she was replaced in Franco's life by Romay). Pierre Chevalier was the art director on this film.
