Robotboy is an animated television series that aired from 1 November 2005 to 27 September 2008 on Cartoon Network in the UK. In the United States, it aired on Cartoon Network, premiering on 14 January 2006, after a sneak peek on 28 December 2005 (under their "Sneak Peek Week" for their new lineup). In France, it aired on France 3. Reruns of the series were broadcast around Europe and Latin America, with fewer exceptions shown in Asia.

The series was created by Jan Van Rijsselberge (also a designer) and produced by Alphanim (now Gaumont Animation) at the company's studio in Vincennes, which the inspiration for the series came from Rijsselberge's son, who was bullied by friends at school and confided that he wanted a robot to protect him, which served as the basis for the protagonist. Season 1, produced in association with studios LuxAnimation and Cofinova 1, was directed by American animator Charlie Bean (who worked on Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls, and Samurai Jack); Season 2 was directed by Bob Camp and Heath Kenny. 52 episodes (104 segments) were produced.
