Jacek i Agatka (Jacek and Agatka) is a Polish television program created by writer Wanda Chotomska for Telewizja Polska's children's television block Dobranocka. It was the first Polish television show intended for bedtime. Featuring finger puppetry, the show features the siblings Jacek and Agatka, who teach curiously crafted ideas to the audience. The program aired at 7:30 PM CET three times a week in its running time between 1962 and 1972 or 1973 and was merchandised on bathing products and toys.

The puppet characters were designed by Adam Kilian and voiced by Zofia Raciborska. Jacek was performed by Teresa Olenderczyk and Agatka was performed by Barbara Skokowska. Each character is made out of a painted wood ball of approximately 8 cm (3.1 in) diameter as a head on top of each performer's index finger on a gloved hand. The heads have been mistaken by audiences to derive from ping-pong balls. Raciborska also plays as Lady Zosia, a neighbouring woman who listens and responds to the main characters' subjects.

In 1968, the show announced its support for an honorary medal called The Order of the Smile, inspired from a boy in a Konstancin-based hospital who told Chotomska about his dream to award people based on their positive contributions to children. The episode of the announcement has Jacek and Agatka introducing a competition for viewers to design the award's appearance.
