The Wacky World of Tex Avery (French: Le Monde fou de Tex Avery) is an animated television series created by Robby London and co-produced by DIC Productions, L.P., Les Studios Tex SARL, Milimetros, M6 and Telcima.

Both the series and the titular character were named after Tex Avery, an animator who is known for his work at Warner Bros., MGM and Walter Lantz Productions, who had died in 1980, seventeen years before the series' debut. The creator describes the show as "a homage to the brilliant, hilarious and groundbreaking animator Tex Avery and the wonderful squash-and-stretch cartoons of his era". The series was first broadcast on the French channel M6 on September 3, 1997, and later debuted in syndication in the United States on September 29, ending after one season on November 30 the same year. In the following years since it debuted, The Wacky World of Tex Avery has been panned as an "insult" to the cartoonist's legacy, and was only a minimal hit in international territories where Tex Avery’s actual works were lesser known.

The series' episodes contain three shorts derived from one of seven segments.

This segment series centers on a cowboy named Tex Avery who saves the day and his love interest, Chastity Knott, from his nemesis, Sagebrush Sid. He was inspired by the Red Hot Ryder character from Buckaroo Bugs, created by Bob Clampett (a fellow animator at Termite Terrace in the 1930s). The theme song is "Home on the Range". If a Tex Avery segment is present in an episode, it is always the first segment.

Pete is a diminutive bumbling Roman centurion from Pompeii who was buried in lava from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and two thousand years later breaks free from his preserved state in the modern world. His over-interpretive behavior constantly foil the schemes of sleazy conman, Dan. He was loosely inspired by Shorty from the Famous Studios era of Popeye the Sailor and Manuel from Fawlty Towers, borrowing some inspiration from Encino Man. The theme song is "Tarantella Napoletana".

This segment series centers on a brilliant caveman, Ughbert Einstone, who is history's first inventor, and tries to teach his friends how to be civilized through the use of his inventions. This segment is inspired by The First Bad Man, with Einstone's name being a play on Albert Einstein. The theme song is "If You're Happy and You Know It".

Genghis the lion is a warlord who leads his barbarian army across the world to conquer in the name of his emperor and often crosses paths with a female panda cub named Khannie, who tends to thwart his plans through her innocent behavior. The duo's names are a play on Genghis Khan, while Genghis' design is based on the lion from Slap Happy Lion, with his voice being modeled after Sean Connery, and Khannie's personality being inspired by Shirley Temple and Tweety.

A playful, obnoxious and uncultured housefly named Freddy bothers an obese, lazy and exceedingly short-tempered billionaire named Amanda Banshee, whose continuous excessive attempts to get rid of him often involve the most extreme of ways. Freddy was inspired by Homer the Homeless Flea, a character created by Rudolf Ising that Avery later used in What Price Fleadom, and comedian Red Skelton's character, Freddy the Freeloader. Freddy and Banshee each have their own themes; Beethoven's "Symphony no. 5" for Freddy and Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" for Banshee.
