Popeye and Son is an American animated comedy TV series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and King Features Entertainment for CBS' Saturday morning children's programming. It ran in 1987, airing 13 episodes. It is a spin-off from the Popeye the Sailor theatrical shorts from Fleischer Studios/Famous Studios, and the second and final series produced by Hanna-Barbera after The All-New Popeye Hour.

In this series, Popeye and longtime girlfriend, Olive Oyl, have gotten hitched and settled down in the seaside town of Sweet Haven (borrowed from the 1989 live-action Popeye film), where they raise their preteen son, Popeye Jr. Unfortunately, they still have to contend with Popeye's old rival, Bluto, who's also got a wife and son named Lizzie and Tank, respectively. Not only does Bluto continue to try and prove himself to be the physically strongest, but also the town's unequaled businessman.

Past characters such as Wimpy and Eugene the Jeep also return. Wimpy has gone from eating burgers to selling them in his own restaurant. While he is still single, he acts as a role model for his nephew, Francis, and the mysterious Eugene still hangs around the Popeyes, despite having a family of his own.

The series generally focus on Junior, his friends, and the continuing family rivalry between the Popeyes and the Blutos. In times of need, Junior will also consume spinach to give him superhuman strength, although he has a strong dislike for it, unlike his father.

This series retcons both Popeye and Bluto's names as their family names, essentially making the former's full name Popeye Popeye (and by default, Junior's full name as Popeye Popeye, Jr.), as well as Bluto's full name possibly being Bluto Bluto, although neither are directly registered on-screen.

Noticeably absent are Swee'Pea, who's seemingly substituted with Junior (perhaps because the idea of an unofficially adopted son was harder to sell than a biological one), and Popeye's nephews.

Perhaps due to being ill-received and having lasted only thirteen episodes, nothing from this incarnation has made an impact on Popeye canon.
