Freaky is a New Zealand children's program that began in 2003, and made by Avalon Productions. It features short episodes about odd phenomena and eerie situations facing children. Usually the protagonist is a boy or girl who starts by trying to do something normal and ordinary, ending up facing an alien, supernatural or "weird" force of some kind. This is both a fantasy and science fiction show, with aliens, portals and time travel. Often it has a low level horror aspect as well, as in ghost visitations. It is comparable to a children's version of "The Twilight Zone".

It is set in New Zealand in ordinary locations such as houses, malls and schools. New Zealand actors make up the cast, speaking with their native accents, and often using New Zealand slang.

Most of the episodes have one word in their titles.

It is currently being shown on ABC Rollercoaster at 5.50 on ABC television in Australia.

Some episodes show real-life companies; for example, Allens Lollies and Fantastic Noodles are in the "Trolley" episode, and the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets game is in the "Mirror" episode.
