Pebbles Flintstone is a young cavegirl and one of the supporting characters of the Flintstones animated franchise. Her voice was originated by Jean Vander Pyl.
Pebbles is the daughter of Fred and Wilma. Her best friend and childhood playmate is Bamm-Bamm Rubble, her next-door neighbor. Although the franchise mainly depicts Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as kids, they were depicted as dating teenagers in the 1970s, and then finally made the leap to adulthood and marriage in the 1990s, which led to children of their own.

- In the Open All Night episode "Buckaroo Buddies," Bud sings along with "(Meet) the Flintstones." When the song is over and the episode begins, he is excited and tells his estranged son, Terry, this is going to be a good one because it's about Pebbles taking home a stray dinosaur, but he doesn't want to spoil the rest.
- In the alternate outfit gag in the Buzz on Maggie episode "Lunch Lady/Love Stinks," Maggie wears a prehistoric outfit with hair similar to Pebbles's.
- In "Episode 18" (series 7) of the UK BBC One quiz show Pointless, the first round of questions that fell into the "Cartoon" category is Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, with host Alexander Armstrong showing an image of several of them together. The contestants have to be able to pick out all the obscure characters that 100 anonymous public people had been able to guess. The contestant Val picks Pebbles Flintstone. Osman circles Pebbles and says she was born at the end of the third season of The Flintstones. 34 of the anonymous public also chose Pebbles correctly.
- In celebration of Warner Bros.' 100th anniversary, they produced a special short which had the Looney Tunes characters dressed as Flintstones characters while taking a group photo in Bedrock, with Tweety as Pebbles, which nicely paired him with Sylvester as Bamm-Bamm. And, yes, Tweety is still a boy.
