Oggy and the Cockroaches ( ) is a French comedy animated television series produced by Gaumont Multimedia (first two seasons) and Xilam Animation (third season onwards), and created by Jean-Yves Raimbaud, co-creator of Space Goofs, who died during production of Oggy's first season. The show employs silent comedy: characters either do not speak, or use unintelligible vocalizations and gestures. The show premiered in September 1998 on France 3, and later expanded internationally.

In September 2020, a reboot/sequel series was announced, entitled Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation, in which Oggy takes care of Piya, a seven-year-old female elephant from India. It was released worldwide in Netflix on July 28, 2022, with 13 episodes compiling 6 segments. Although it differs noticeably from the original in terms of its visuals and tone, Gulli labels it as Oggy s eighth season.

Oggy, an anthropomorphic cat, would prefer to spend his days watching television and eating, but is continuously pestered by three roaches: Joey, Marky and Dee Dee. The cockroaches' slapstick mischief ranges from plundering Oggy's refrigerator to hijacking the train he just boarded. In many situations, Oggy is also helped by Jack, who is more violent and short-tempered than him and is also annoyed by the cockroaches. Bob, a short-tempered bulldog, also appears in the show, and is Oggy's neighbor.

Some of the characters make a cameo in Xilam's other shows, such as Zig & Sharko and The Daltons and in the film, Go West! A Lucky Luke Adventure. The eponymous characters make a debut in the Space Goofs episode "Venus Junior", where they are seen on the aliens' television. In the second season, "Space Sailors" has a gag where the cockroaches ride on by Etno, in the aliens' flooded house. Oggy, the cockroaches and Jack appear as drawings in "Doodle", albeit with a differently colored Jack, and make another cameo in the episode "The Alien Show".

The Cockroaches (Dee Dee, Marky, and Joey) has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
