Smack the Pony was a British sketch comedy show that ran from 1999 until 2003 on Channel 4. Its title is derived from a euphemism for female masturbation; the working title was Spot the Pony. The main performers and writers on the show were Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips. There were also regular appearances from Samantha Janus, Sarah Alexander and Darren Boyd.

The song In the Middle of Nowhere by Dusty Springfield was played over the title credits.

Among the show's regular themes were unsuccessful relationships, competition in the workplace and latent lesbianism, but sketches would also dip into the surreal. Two regular strands involved a series of different women making dating agency videos about their general likes and dislikes, and a musical parody that would close the show.

In 1999 and 2000, Smack the Pony won an Emmy Award for the Best Popular Arts Show.
