Egghead Jr., also known as Eggbert Jr. or Eggbert, is a young anthropomorphic chicken and recurring character in the Looney Tunes franchise. He is the son of Miss Prissy and serves as Foghorn Leghorn's highly intelligent instigator, in spite of Fohgorn's attempts to educate him. While generally a silent character, his vocal effects were provided by Mel Blanc. His first speaking role was in Bugs Bunny Builders, where it was originated by Luke Lowe.

He appeared in three entries of both the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical series.
