Bamm-Bamm Rubble is a young caveboy and one of the supporting characters of the Flintstones animated franchise. His voice was originated by Don Messick.
He is the adopted son of Barney and Betty, with his origin of superhuman strength a mystery and never explored or hinted at, except for when DC Comics rebooted the series in 2016. His voice was originated by Don Messick.
His best friend and childhood playmate is Pebbles, his next-door neighbor. Although the franchise mainly depicts Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles as kids, they were depicted as dating teenagers in the 1970s, and then finally made the leap into adulthood and marriage in the 1990s, which led to children of their own.

Behind the scenes
In popular culture
- In The Fairly OddParents TV movie Channel Chasers, Timmy is zapped into the world of The Meatflints, where he is given an outfit resembling Bamm-Bamm's, but in Timmy's signature pink.
- In the film Son of the Mask, baby Alvery switches the TV onto this episode, with a couple of scenes included. The first one is when Fred is knocked in the stomach with an extended plunger while he and Barney hold signs of their kids, and the second one is when Bamm-Bamm throws his playpen around, which gives Alvery the same idea about doing it to his father, saying, "Bam," when he looks at him.
- In celebration of Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they produced a special short which had the Looney Tunes cast take a group photo as the Flintstones cast in Bedrock. When Daffy dresses up as Bamm-Bamm (after trying to go replace Bugs as Fred), Sylvester who was already dressed up as Bamm-Bamm, bashed Daffy into the ground with his club. Daffy laments that he should've seen that coming.

- "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire:" Peter tells Cleveland that he walked in on the latter's wife having sex with another man, and when playing it out he uses the word "bam" several times as an onomatopoeia.

- "Road to Rupert:" In a reenactment of "(Meet) The Flintstones," Meg drives Peter to the Quahog Drive-In, where he sticks his head through the car roof like Dino and then has Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm placed on top of his head.
