Ferdy the Ant (German: Ferdy, die Ameise), also simply referred to as Ferdy or Ferda, is a children's animated television series based on the Ferda Mravenec series of comic books by Czech author Ondřej Sekora. It was produced by Liechtensteiner company European Cinema Production, and was animated by Far Eastern Productions.

There are three English dubs. The original British English dub, the short-lived Harmony Gold USA dub and a German-produced 2000 dub that uses English-speaking voice actors based in Germany.

The show is primarily aimed towards children from ages 3 to 10, and has been owned by Entertaining Cartoon Productions and Licensing AG since 2000.

The series also appeared on Nepal Television during the early 2000s. It was one of the few animated shows including Moomin that aired on the Nepal's national television at that time.
