Beanstalk Bunny is the three hundred and ninety-first Merrie Melodies theatrical short. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and The Vitaphone Corporation on February 12, 1955. It was written by Michael Maltese, produced by Edward Selzer, and directed by Chuck Jones.

In a parody of "Jack and the Beanstalk", Daffy (portraying as Jack) sells his cow for magic beans. But after throwing them away, they land in Bugs Bunny's hole and a beanstalk sprouts up from within. Bugs decides to get in on the act when Daffy is chased by a giant Elmer Fudd.
