Della Duck (sometimes named Dumbella Duck) is a cartoon character created in 1937 by Al Taliaferro and Ted Osborne. She is a core member of the Disney Duck family, as the niece of Scrooge McDuck, the younger twin sister of Donald Duck and the mother of his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Della is an anthropomorphic white duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet.

She is one of the main characters in the DuckTales reboot, where she typically wears an aviator hat, bomber jacket with a light blue scarf and brown pants. As an adult, being an amputee, she also has a robot leg. She is known for her boisterous and adventurous spirit as a female adventurer, and has been deemed a positive role model to other women and to people with disabilities.

Della Duck was first mentioned in Donald Duck comic strips in 1937 as "Cousin Della". The second time, and first mention on screen, was in the animated short "Donald's Nephews" (1938) as "Sister Dumbella". Prior to her animation debut in the 2017 DuckTales reboot, Della never appeared in any animated film or television series, and had only limited appearances in Disney comics. As a result, almost nothing was known about the character prior to 2017.

Della was first mentioned in a 1937 Donald Duck Sunday strip on October 17, 1937, in which she writes a letter explaining to Donald that she is sending her sons to stay with him. This first appearance referred to Della as Donald's cousin, though later depictions would refer to her as Donald's sister. One year later, Della was mentioned in similar fashion in 1938's Donald Duck animated cartoon Donald's Nephews. This cartoon, which marked the film debut of Della's three sons (and Donald's nephews), Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck, opened with Donald receiving a postcard from his sister (addressed "Dear Brother" and signed "Sister Dumbella"), letting him know that the three boys are coming to visit him.
