Little Bear, also known as Maurice Sendak's Little Bear, is a Canadian children's animated television series co-produced by Nelvana Limited, produced in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is based on the children's book series of the same name written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. In the United States, the series premiered on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. block on November 6, 1995, and the final episode aired on June 1, 2001. The series also aired on CBS on Saturday mornings from September 16, 2000, until September 15, 2001.

Every twenty-two minute long episode of the series is divided into three seven-minute segments. Most segments are new stories, but some are retellings of Else Holmelund Minarik's books (both she and Sendak were "closely involved in the creative process" when developing the new stories).

A direct-to-video feature film titled The Little Bear Movie was released in 2001.
