The Adventures of Dash and Dot is an American animated educational television series created by Matthew O'Callaghan and based on the PBS Kids mascots of the same name[a]. The series was produced by Imagine Television and Universal Animation Studios in association with PBS for the PBS Kids block. The show centers around 7-year-old Dash and 4-year-old Dot, both voiced by Jacob Hopkins and Hadley Belle Miller.

The show was conceived after the release of Dash and Dot's Wild Ride in October 2009. Matthew O'Callaghan, who had secured the rights with Universal Pictures, pitched a pilot episode draft to PBS Kids, which was green lit into a three-season television program. Christopher Lennertz composed the music for the show.
