Cartoon Alley is an American animated children's animated anthology series which aired on Turner Classic Movies on Saturday mornings from 2004 to 2007. It featured classic animated shorts.

Originally broadcast at 11:30 AM ET, it was hosted by Ben Mankiewicz and usually featured three classic animated shorts from the 1930–1950s per episode. Most shorts were from The Golden Age of American animation. Each of the three shorts focused on a common theme. Most shorts came from Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount (the latter studio provided the Popeye cartoons; these were in Turner's hands by this point), but during the show's first season Cartoon Alley featured shorts from Gaumont. Many recognizable characters were featured in at least one episode such as Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Porky Pig, Tom and Jerry, Droopy, Screwy Squirrel, Barney Bear, Spike, George and Junior, and others not so famous such as Goopy Geer and The Captain and the Kids. Also included were animated feature films. The shorts often appeared uncut and uncensored (a few cartoons utilized cuts for content), and the more controversial cartoons (such as Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt and Half-Pint Pygmy) were often introduced with a brief warning by Mankiewicz about the ethnic stereotypes being portrayed. The network's logo was only featured for a brief time, usually during the last short featured.

From November 2004 to September 2005, the series was featured just once a month but after popular demand the series became a weekly feature. Cartoon Alley usually did not air in February because of TCM's 31 Days of Oscar programming. The series was cancelled in Autumn of 2007.
