Fun with Frith was an early Australian(?) television series. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7 in 1957, from 9 March to 15 June 1957 for a total of 15 episodes. The series was broadcast at 7:25PM on Saturdays, each episode being a brief 5 minutes long. The series featured cartoonist John Frith, who provided jokes and sketches.

It was preceded on HSV's schedule by US series Kaleidoscope and followed by another US series, Grantland Rice.

The archival status of the series is not known. Additionally, Fun with Frith was not the only five-minute series to have aired on HSV-7 during 1957. For example, Green Fingers started off as a five-minute series before expanding to 15 minutes. GTV-9, meanwhile, offered a 5-minute music series, also at 7:25PM on Saturdays, with Dennis Gibbons and Stan Stafford alternating each week.
