Badger is a fictional character from the animated children's television series The Animals of Farthing Wood, based upon the books of the same name by author Colin Dann.

Badger was one of the more respected members of the group and was relied upon by Fox, several times. Badger took nominal command after the incident at river crossing, successfully keeping the group moving on until Fox rejoined them in episode 8.

After reaching White Deer Park in series 2, Badger kept a low profile except on two occasions: the first when he was injured and had to be cared for by the Warden; the second when he went alone against Scarface to try and negotiate Fox's release (fortunately this was unnecessary). Sadly old age caught up with Badger before the conflict against Scarface came to an end.

Although Badger died in the animated series, he lived throughout the course of the books.

Badger and Mole had a very close relationship, Mole spending the majority of the journey to White Deer Park upon the back of Badger. On the few occasions that Mole did venture away from Badger, Badger would inevitably be called upon to aid Mole in some form of crisis.

Badger is voiced by Ron Moody.
