The Caribou Kitchen is a British preschool animated television series, particularly intended for children aged between two and five years old, which aired on the ITV network's CITV block from 5 June 1995 to 3 August 1998, running for 52 episodes over 4 series.

The series was created by Andrew Brenner, and was his first television writing role.

The show's main character is an anthropomorphic caribou called Claudia who runs a restaurant in the fictional town called Barkabout, assisted by her staff, the chef Abe the Anteater, and waiters Lisa the Lemur and Tom the Tortoise.

The kitchen serves a number of talking animal guests, including Mrs Panda, Caroline the Cow, Gerald the Giraffe and Taffy the Tiger.

Each of the 52 episodes lasts about ten minutes, and intends to teach its pre-school audiences important lessons.
