Where's Huddles?, sometimes called Where's Huddles, is an American animated television sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS. It ran from 1970 and ending in the same year, airing 10 episodes. It was a short-lived prime-time animated series geared towards adults, although its accessibility for the whole family allowed it to be aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang in their heydays.

It was the final prime time animated sitcom from Hanna-Barbera up until Fish Police in 1992, although it wasn't the final as a whole with prime time becoming popular again after the success of The Simpsons.

The show served as a summer replacement for The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour when it was coming to an end.
