Grug is a fictional character appearing in a series of Australian children's books by the author Ted Prior, not unlike the Little Miss and Mr Men series of books by Roger Hargreaves. They were published between 1976 and 1992 by Hodder Headline Australia and are no longer in print.

"Grug began his life as the top of a Burrawong tree. Resembling a small, striped haystack with feet and a nose, he is fascinated by the world around him and solves everyday problems creatively and without fuss. When dancing instructions are too difficult to understand, Grug invents his own dance and calls it "The Grug". When snails eat his cabbages, Grug plants more cabbages so there will be enough for both him and the snails. "
