Terry and the Pirates was an action-adventure comic strip created by cartoonist Milton Caniff.

Captain Joseph Patterson, editor for the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate, had admired Caniff’s work on the children\'s adventure strip Dickie Dare and hired him to create the new adventure strip, providing Caniff with the title and locale. The Dragon Lady leads the evil pirates; conflict with the pirates was diminished in priority when World War II started.

The daily strip began October 22, 1934, and the Sunday color pages began December 9, 1934.

Initially, the storylines of the daily strips and Sunday pages were different, but on August 26, 1936 they merged into a single storyline. In 1946, Caniff won the first Cartoonist of the Year Award from the National Cartoonists Society for his work on Terry and the Pirates.

The strip was read by 31 million newspaper subscribers between 1934 and 1946.
