Space Ghost is a series of scifi-fantasy/action adventure segments of Space Ghost & Dino Boy, produced by Hanna-Barbera (H-B) for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. It ran from 1966 to 1967, airing 20 episodes. In 1981, it was revived for a further 22 episodes as segments of Space Stars on NBC.

A space law enforcement officer with a superhero-like name and uniform called Space Ghost battles supervillains across the galaxy. In his quest to uphold the law, he is joined by cadet fraternal twins, Jan and Jace, and their pet monkey pet, Blip.

In the final few episodes of the original series, Space Ghost had crossovers with several other H-B series, including Moby Dick, Mighty Mightor, The Herculoids, and Shazzan.

From 2004 to 2008, Williams Street produced an adult spin-off and spoof for Cartoon Network (and later Adult Swim), where Space Ghost had retired and became a talk show host. It also spawned its own spin-offs, Cartoon Planet and The Brak Show.

In 2005, DC Comics reimagined the character in a limited series called Space Ghost, and again in 2016, with Future Quest and Future Quest Presents.

The entire original series has been released on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc, and the entire revival has been released on DVD.
