"Judge Me Tender" is the twenty-third and final episode of the twenty-first season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. The 464th episode of the series overall, it originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on May 23, 2010. In the episode, Moe discovers his talent for judging in competitions and is invited to appear on the show American Idol. Meanwhile, Homer drives Marge crazy when he starts spending too much time at home, and Lisa tries to comfort Santa's Little Helper.

The episode was written by Allen Glazier and Dan Greaney and directed by Steven Dean Moore. The episode also features references to Lost and its series finale, Tiger Woods, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

"Judge Me Tender" has received mixed reviews from critics, with many criticizing the cameos from the American Idol judges. They especially criticized Ellen DeGeneres, since she had experience as a voice artist from the movie Finding Nemo. Ratings for the episode were down 14% from the previous week's episode due to competition from the Lost clip show, according to Nielsen Media Research.
