SuperTed is a Welsh superhero animated television series about an anthropomorphic teddy bear with superpowers, created by writer and animation producer Mike Young. Originally conceived as a series of stories to help his son overcome fear of the dark, SuperTed became a popular series of books and led to an animated series produced from 1982 to 1986.

An American series, The Further Adventures of SuperTed, was produced by Hanna-Barbera in 1989. It was the first British animation acquired by the US-based Disney Channel.
