Rick and Morty: The Anime is an adult animated science fiction sitcom television series created, written and directed by Takashi Sano, produced by Sola Entertainment and animated by Telecom Animation Film for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The third series in the franchise, based on the American animated series of the same name by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, set between the fifth and sixth seasons of the main series, it stars Yōhei Tadano as Rick Sanchez and Keisuke Chiba as Morty Smith, reprising their roles from the Japanese dub of the original series. None of the cast of the English version of the original series reprise their roles for its English dub.

Following five short films that premiered on Adult Swim and subsequently released onto its official YouTube account from March 29, 2020, to November 12, 2021, the series itself aired on the network from August 16 to October 18, 2024. Both the shorts and series received mixed reviews from critics, with the former getting somewhat more favorable reactions.
