Format Productions, previously known as Format Studios, was an American animation studio founded in 1959 by Herbert Klynn, with Jules Engel as vice president, and animators Bob McIntosh and Joseph Mugnaini. It was mainly active in the 1960s, producing episodes of animated television shows such as The Alvin Show, Popeye the Sailor and The Lone Ranger. Klynn shut down Format Studios in 1962, but reopened the studio under its new name in 1965 when Engel left for Europe. The company went defunct in the 1970s.

From 1965 to 1968, Warner Bros. sub-contracted Format Productions to produce Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoons with DePatie–Freleng Enterprises, which included eleven Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote shorts, as well as three shorts with Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales.
