Monty Python ou The Pythons foram os criadores e intérpretes da série cômica Monty Python's Flying Circus, um programa de televisão britânico que foi ao ar pela primeira vez em 5 de outubro de 1969. Como série televisiva, consistiu de 45 episódios divididos em 4 temporadas. Entretanto o fênomeno Python não se limitou a apenas isso, espalhando-se por shows, filmes, programas de rádio e diversos jogos de computador e livros, além de lançar seus seis integrantes ao estrelato.
