Petunia Pig is an animated cartoon character in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons from Warner Bros. She was created by animator Frank Tashlin and first appeared in the 1937 short, "Porky's Romance."

Petunia is generally depicted as an anthropomorphic pig, similar in design to Porky Pig, but distinguished by her feminine features such as her dress, eyelashes, and bonnet or hair bow. She often serves as Porky's girlfriend or romantic interest.

While not as prominently featured as Porky Pig or other Looney Tunes stars like Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, Petunia appeared in several cartoons during the late 1930s and 1940s. Although overshadowed by other female characters like Miss Prissy later on, she remains a notable and recognizable figure within the classic Looney Tunes canon. Her appearances diminished over time, but she has made occasional cameos in more recent Looney Tunes productions.
