Gold Diggers of '49 is a 1935 Warner Brothers theatrical cartoon short in the Looney Tunes series. This film is the very first cartoon directed by Tex Avery for Warner Brothers., and is the second Warners cartoon to feature the character Porky Pig. The star is Beans the Cat, with Porky Pig as the father of Beans' fiancée (Little Kitty). Beans and Porky set out to find gold and run into some meanies along the way.

The short's title is a parody of Busby Berkeley movies popular in the 1930s that often carried "gold digger" names and the year of production.
