Pink Panther and Sons is an American animated comedy television series produced by Mirisch-Geoffrey-DePatie-Freleng, in association with Hanna-Barbera, for NBC's Saturday morning children's programming. It ran in 1984, airing 13 episodes that spanned one season.

It is a spin-off of MGM's Pink Panther theatrical shorts, with the silent Pink Panther having spawned two talking offsprings in the form of teenage Pinky and his baby brother, Panky.
