The Blizzard of Odd (2001-) is an Irish television programme broadcast by RTÉ. It is aired usually on Tuesday nights at 22:25 on the RTÉ Two channel. It lasts for 30 minutes, including commercials.

The programme, presented and written by Irish comedian Colin Murphy, incorporates a number of segments such as Boggle Box, reviewing the week's television programmes, Made in Ireland, which features clips from various Irish B-movies, and other segments which vary from week to week. While the show is very cheaply produced – the set is simply a white backdrop onto which Murphy occasionally brings props – it is a cult favourite among sections of the viewing public in Ireland.
