Ultraman: Towards the Future, released in Japan as Ultraman Great (ウルトラマンGグレート, Urutoraman Gurēto), is an English-language Japanese-Australian tokusatsu science fiction television series produced by Tsuburaya Productions and South Australian Film Corporation. It is the tenth installment in the Ultra Series, the first series to be produced during Japan's Heisei period and the second English-language production in the franchise after Ultraman: The Adventure Begins.

Despite being filmed in South Australia, the series would not initially air in Australia and instead was released direct to video and LaserDisc in Japan on September 25, 1990. The series would go on to air in Japan in 1991 (being rerun in 1995), and in the United States in 1992. The success of the series in the U.S. would inspire the creation of a follow-up production filmed there, resulting in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero.
