The Wiggles are an Australian rock band that specializes in creating and performing music for toddlers and young children.

Two members of the group, Anthony Field (vocals, guitar) and Jeff Fatt (keyboard) were members of The Cockroaches, an 80's pub band that had a number of top 40 hits in Australia. At Macquarie University in Sydney, they connected with Murray Cook (bass) and Greg Page (vocals) to produce programs for an Early Childhood Education program at the school. Their combination of kid-friendly songs and characters were a quick hit in Australia in the early 90s, and international exposure has only made them more popular in the 2000s.

Wiggles songs are often about simple topics that children can relate to: sleeping ("Rock A Bye Bear", "Wake Up Jeff"), eating ("Fruit Salad"), animals ("Do the Monkey", "Swim Like a Fish", "Ponies") or the cast of characters created for their home videos and TV shows. These costumed characters include Dorothy the Dinosaur (a horticulturalist dinosaur who eats only roses), Captain Feathersword (a harmless pirate), Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, and Officer Beeples (a female bobby who communicates through mime). Another distinctive feature of the group's songs is easy-to-repeat gestures, such as the "romp omp a chomp" hand motions in the song "Dorothy the Dinosaur".

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has produced several series of Wiggles television programs. In the United States, these series are broadcast on the Disney Channel.

It can be argued that the Wiggles are among the first cultural influences on the yet-unnamed generation that follows the Millenials, i.e., the children of Generation X.
