The Ant Hill Mob are a group of gangsters from the Wacky Races animated franchise. They consist of seven short men and are led by their boss, Clyde.
In their debut series, they drive an old-fashioned automobile called the Bulletproof Bomb (designated #7). In The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, it was instead replaced with the sentient Chugga-Boom.

In popular culture
- In "Episode Three" (series 5) of the BBC Radio 4 show Dead Ringers, Phil Collins follows in the footsteps of Elton John by singing a non-Disney song set to the tune of "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)," about Dick Dastardly losing against the Ant Hill Mob.
