Mr. Whippy (or Mister Whippy) is a brand of soft-mix ice cream produced by The Magnum Ice Cream Company. Mr. Whippy began as a franchise of ice cream operators, but is now just the name of the soft-mix ice cream. The ice cream vans branded as "Mr. Whippy" are authorised licensees which sell the soft-mix ice cream. Actual franchises of the brand continue separately in Australia and New Zealand.

Mr. Whippy has become a well-known trade mark in the United Kingdom as it is popular amongst consumers and widely sold, commonly served in a single cone.
