Jacaranda Jim is a text adventure computer game written by British programmer Graham Cluley. The game was originally written in 1987 by Cluley while he was studying at Guildford College of Technology, England. At this stage the game only ran on a PRIME minicomputer and was named "Derek the Troll" in honour of its central character (based upon one of Cluley's lecturers).

When college authorities questioned the lampooning of one its staff, the character was renamed "Alan the Gribbley" and the game itself rechristened "Jacaranda Jim".

The game, which was written in Pascal, was then ported to the PC platform and further developed. This PC version was distributed as shareware and appeared on a number of British computer magazine cover disks, including PC Plus magazine.
