The Wrong Trousers is a 1993 British stop-motion animated short film directed and co-written by Nick Park. It was produced by Aardman Animations in association with Wallace and Gromit Ltd., BBC Bristol, Lionheart Television and BBC Children's International. It is the second film featuring the eccentric inventor Wallace (voiced by Peter Sallis) and his dog Gromit, following A Grand Day Out (1989). In the film, a villainous penguin, Feathers McGraw, uses a pair of robotic trousers to steal a diamond from the city museum.

The Wrong Trousers debuted in the UK on 26 December 1993 on BBC Two.[3] Like the previous film, it received critical acclaim. It won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1994. It was followed by A Close Shave (1995), The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005), A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008) and Vengeance Most Fowl (2024).
