Mr. Plod (born 17 July 1954) is a fictional character in the Noddy children's series by Enid Blyton. He is a forthright police officer who never lets Toyland's crooks (especially Sly and Gobbo, the two goblins) escape from the "long arm of the law". He always pretends to know the problem, but can never quite figure it out.

In later adaptations he is also known as P.C. Plod or Officer Plod.

Plod has since become English slang for a police officer, in honour of Mr. Plod.
