Mechannibals is a television game show aired on the British terrestrial channel BBC Two. It is made by the independent production company IWC Media. The host is Louise Brady.

The show, which is currently in its first series, and is sometimes likened to Channel 4's Scrapheap Challenge or the earlier BBC series The Great Egg Race, centres around taking two families from the same area and setting them a task to create some form of machine. The contestant families are required to create it using only parts found in their home. Some examples of the created machines so far are: A shed destroyer, a beer chiller and a food cooking and preparing machine. The finished creations are then judged by people who have some knowledge about the subject. The winning family is then given enough money to replace all their used equipment with top-of-the-rage alternatives. The other family however is left merely with a toolbox.
