Malcolm "Mal" Hancock (May 20, 1936 – February 16, 1993) was an American magazine cartoonist, most notable for his work in National Review.

Hancock's work was also seen regularly in such publications as Playboy, The Saturday Evening Post and the Washington Post. He drew many comic strips, including 'Nibbles' (1961-63), 'Patrick' (1965-69), 'The Fantastic Foster Fenwick' (1968-72), 'Fenwick' (1977-1979), 'The Lumpits' (1970-78) 'Pig Newton' (1983), 'Malfunction Junction' (1990-93), and 'Hi and Jinx' (1991-93). His work was notable for its sharp satire.

Hancock was paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair by a fall he suffered as a teen. He died at the age of 56 of cancer. The quote: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention" is attributed to him.^{[citation needed]}
