Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers (Japanese: デジモンテイマーズ 冒険者たちの戦い, Hepburn: Dejimon Teimāzu: Bōkensha-tachi no Tatakai) is a 2001 Japanese animated adventure film based on the Digimon franchise created by Akiyoshi Hongo, and its third series, Digimon Tamers. The film is directed by Tetsuo Imazawa, written by Yasuko Kobayashi, and produced by Toei Animation. The film was released in Japan on July 14, 2001, as part of Toei Animation Summer 2001 Animation Fair, featuring alongside Mōtto! Ojamajo Doremi: The Secret of the Frog Stone and Kinnikuman: Second Generation films.
The film takes place during the Tamers' summer vacation, where Mephistomon sends Digimon to invade the Real World through a virus called the "V-Pet".
The film marks the first film for Digimon Tamers, and was followed by the Runaway Locomon short film.
In the United States, the film aired on Toon Disney in 2005. Discotek Media released it on Blu-ray as part of the 2nd Digimon movie collection on December 30, 2025. It is also partially redubbed as it brought back Brian Donovan as Kai from the TV series. The dub is also uncut.
A Hong Kong-produced English dub aired on Disney XD in Southeast Asia in the 2010s.

Notes[]
- As Saban Entertainment and Sensation Animation had been folded into The Walt Disney Company by this point, Disney contracted the English dubs of Digimon: Revenge of Diaboromon, Digimon Tamers: Battle of Adventurers and Digimon Tamers: Runaway Locomon to Studiopolis, who Toei Animation would begin using their services for much of the franchise starting with Digimon Data Squad.
