The Pet Squadron

 is a 2004 American live-action/computer-animated satirical action-comedy film produced by Imagine Entertainment. It is spun-off from the syndicated television series The Definition of Malefaction, in which members of the squadron appeared in throwaway cameos as the main characters' pets. The film was directed by Ron Howard, written by Cameron Murphy and produced by series creator Zachary Murphy, Cameron Murphy and Brian Grazer, and stars Hugh Jackman, Kelsey Grammer, Seth MacFarlane, Will Forte, Jennifer Connelly, Kristen Schaal, David Hyde Pierce, Crispin Glover, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Rock and Loretta Devine.

The film was released on March 5, 2004 by Universal Pictures in the United States and later internationally by DreamWorks Pictures to generally positive reviews from critics and fans of the series, with praise directed at its humor, visuals, action sequences, voice acting, chemistry between Connelly and Schaal, and Hans Zimmer's musical score. It was also a modest box office success, grossing $180.3 million worldwide on its $40 million budget, despite falling short of Universal's expectations. It is often touted as one of Universal's most underrated animated films.

A sequel, entitled The Pet Squadron: Resilience, was released on July 26, 2019.
