Roy is an Irish live-action animated children's television series which was broadcast by TRTÉ in Ireland, CBBC in the United Kingdom and ABC3 in Australia. It aired from 1 July 2009 to 1 April 2015.

The show centres on the titular character Roy O'Brien. He is portrayed as the 11-year-old animated son of a live-action family. Episodes mostly revolve around the adventures and challenges he faces as he settles into his new school in a suburb of Dublin.

The series is filmed as a mockumentary and based on the short film Badly Drawn Roy, which was commissioned by the Irish Film Board, RTÉ and the Arts Council of Ireland through their frameworks scheme for new animation.
