Rowlf the Dog is a Muppet character, a scruffy brown dog of indeterminate breed with a rounded black nose and long floppy ears. He was created (and originally performed and voiced) by Jim Henson.

Rowlf is the Muppet Theatre's resident pianist (as well as one of many vocalists). Though Kermit the Frog is often credited as the icon of Henson's Muppets, Rowlf was actually the first true Muppet "star" as a recurring character on The Jimmy Dean Show, first appearing in a show telecast on 24 February, 1964.

Rowlf is a calm and quiet fellow. He is very easygoing and a fan of classical music (particularly Beethoven) and musicals.

Rowlf was built in 1962 for Purina Dog Chow commercials, in which he appeared with Baskerville the Hound. Jim Henson designed Rowlf, and Don Sahlin built him; it was Sahlin's first muppet construction.
