The Banana Splits are a group of musical anthropomorphic animals, who star in the live-action television series The Banana Splits Adventure Hour. The band consists of their leader Fleegle, the red ape Bingo, lion Drooper, and the silent elephant Snorky. In each episode they represent the Banana Splits Club, mainly goofing off and acting in bubblegum musical numbers. They were originally depicted as live costumed animals, provided by the designs of Sid and Marty Krofft.

In The Banana Splits Movie, they are animatronics of a widely-popular children's show. After the show's cancellation, they malfunction and become bloodthirsty murderers late at night.

In 2021's Jellystone!, the Splits appear as a group of gangsters and rivals of El Kabong.
