The Sound of Thunder is a 1957 Australian television play by Australian writer Iain MacCormick. It starred Moira Carleton. It was described as "the longest and most ambitious play ABN [the ABC] has put over so far" although The Importance of Being Ernest, which followed on 18 December, exceeded it by 12 minutes.
It was made at a time when Australian drama production was rare and was one of the first productions in Melbourne.
