Samurai Pizza Cats (キャッ党忍伝てやんでえ, Kyattō Ninden Teyandē; lit. "Cat-Party Ninja Legend What the Heck?" or "Legendary Ninja Cats" according to the Crunchyroll release) is a Japanese anime series produced by Tatsunoko Production. The series originally aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from February 1, 1990, to February 12, 1991, for a total of 54 episodes. The creators stated that there was going to be a spin-off series, Kyatto Keisatsu Beranmee (キャッ党警察べらんめえ, Kyattō Keisatsu Beranmē; lit. "Cat Police You Fool!"). The series is known for its cultural humor consisting of Japanese puns, pop culture, and fourth-wall breaking.

Saban Entertainment picked up the North American rights to the series in 1991 and produced a 52-episode English adaptation.

The dub initially aired on YTV in Canada in 1992–1993, then later aired in US syndication in 1996–1997. Saban's distribution rights to the series expired on November 12, 2000. Crunchyroll began streaming the series on December 27, 2015. The series was removed in 2025. The series became available for streaming to Amazon Prime subscribers in late 2018. In 2020, it became available on Tubi. In 2021, it became available on Peacock.
