"The Saint Meets the Tiger" is the title of a crime thriller motion picture produced by RKO Pictures and released in 1943. This was the eighth motion picture based on the adventures of the Robin Hood-inspired crimefighter, Simon Templar, a.k.a. The Saint, who had been created by Leslie Charteris in 1928. This film is, in fact, an adaptation of Charteris' first Saint novel, "Meet - The Tiger!"; it was the third and last full Saint novel adapted by the RKO series.

Hugh Sinclair makes his second (and final) appearance as Templar in this adventure, which sees Templar investigating a dead body left on his doorstep, which leads him to a quiet seaside village where he pursues a mysterious villain known as The Tiger.

Co-starring in the film is Jean Gillie as Templar's love interest, Patricia Holm. Although this character made many appearances in the book series, this is to date the only film in which she appears.

Following the release of this film, the RKO Saint series took a 10-year hiatus before returning in 1953 with "The Saint's Girl Friday".
