This is a list of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles episodes. Although forty-four episodes were produced by Paramount Pictures and Lucasfilm, many were unaired during the series' original 1992-1993 run on ABC. In 1996, some of the remaining episodes were combined and aired as four two-part TV movies on USA. The entire series was edited into twenty-two feature-length films later that year. Twelve of the films were released on VHS in 1999, while the rest were aired on the Fox Family Channel in 2001. All of the films were released on DVD throughout 2007 and 2008.

Seasons
Season I (1992)
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles debuted on ABC on March 4, 1992 with the feature-length episode Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal, which served to introduce the character at the two ages he would be portrayed as in the show. The five subsequent episodes in season one were hour-long.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Young Indiana Jones and the Curse of the Jackal[1] | March 4, 1992 | Indiana Jones describes to two truant boys his early life with his family and his dog. In Oxford 1908, Indy met Ellen Seymour whom Henry requested to teach him on their voyage to Egypt. After an expedition to the pyramids, T. E. Lawrence invited Indy to the excavation of Ka's tomb. The next day, Rashid was found murdered and the jackal head piece stolen. Dimitrius was revealed to be behind this, but he fled. In Mexico 1916, Indy was captured by Mexican revolutionaries, but was rescued by a Belgian called Remy. As Indy got involved in the war, he recognised Dimitrius, who was collaborating with the US. After hearing how hypocritical the revolutionaries act, Indy and Remy decided to leave but not before Indy fought Dimitrius to defeat and recovered the jackal. |
