The Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection, also known as the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection, is a three-disc Blu-ray box set containing 60 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies shorts starring Bugs Bunny, in addition to numerous bonus features and supplementary content. It was released by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment on December 1, 2020. The set's packaging includes a slip book, a booklet, and a collectible Funko! POP doll.

Initially conceived as a single-disc Blu-ray Disc version of The Essential Bugs Bunny DVD set with an additional Funko doll, animation historian Jerry Beck convinced the department heads to extend the set to three discs and include cartoons not previously released on either DVD or Blu-ray, in order to appeal to adult collectors.[2]

The set includes 32 newly restored and remastered cartoons that were previously unavailable on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD and Looney Tunes Platinum Collection Blu-ray Disc sets. Additionally, 20 shorts were ported over from those previous collections. According to Beck, with this collection (along with the previous Golden and Platinum Collections), fans and collectors would be able to own "approximately 90% of Bugs Bunny's filmography."[3]
