Cabaret Cartoons was a live light entertainment series broadcast by BBC Television 1936–39 and 1946. It was a spin-off from the series Cabaret. Its distinctive feature was that English artist Harry Rutherford (1903–85) drew cartoon sketches of the performers during the broadcast. Rutherford did not speak: producer Cecil Madden decreed that his Mancunian accent was inappropriate to be heard on the BBC.

No episodes have survived.
