Pellefant is a Swedish comic book character, a blue living toy elephant. He was created by Rune Andréasson.

Pellefant's first appearance was in Andréasson's book Pellefant i Gottlandet ("Pellefant in Candyland" or "Pellefant in Tastyland"), which was written in the 1940s, but first published in 1954. Pellefant got his own comic book series from 1965 to 1993, although Andréasson very early left both illustration and scriptwriting over to others, first to Gösta Gummesson and the Dane Gil Johansen, and also Georges Bess during his stay in Sweden.

Pellefant has appeared in Finland in the 1980s and 1990s in his own comic book series, and also for a short time in the Bamse comic book. Pellefant was published in India in the early Eighties, translated to English as 'Appu the Pellephant'. The series was short-lived.
