Aqua Teen Hunger Force (also known as ATHF) is an American animated television series shown on Cartoon Network as part of its Adult Swim late-night programming block, as well as Teletoon in Canada. It is one of four spin-offs of Adult Swim's Space Ghost Coast to Coast. ATHF is one of the four original Williams Street series that premiered on December 30, 2000 before Adult Swim officially debuted (the others were Sealab 2021, The Brak Show, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law). ATHF is the longest running original series on the network.

The show is about the adventures of three anthropomorphic fast food items and their next-door neighbor in suburban southern New Jersey. In 2007, an ATHF movie, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, was released in 877 selected theaters throughout the United States. Another movie is planned for 2012, to be called Death Fighter. The series has been cited as an example of postmodern humor.

Episodes tend to lack clear plots and frequently place the main characters in bizarre, surreal, and often morbid scenarios. The initial premise of the show, concerning the three lead characters - Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad - solving mysteries was dropped in favor of intentionally incohesive storylines, improvised dialogue (often laden with non sequiturs), and absurd visual gags. Situations often involve the Aqua Teens being visited by strange monsters and extraterrestrial beings, most of which are of little power or consequence. An initially structured plot is often abandoned as characters' actions take the story far afield. Little continuity exists between episodes: regularly appearing characters frequently die in an episode, only to appear alive and well in the next. Since its release, it has developed a cult following.
