Snidely Whiplash is the cartoon villain who is archnemesis to Dudley Do-Right in the tongue-in-cheek series The Dudley Do-Right Show by American animation pioneer Jay Ward. The series was a spin-off of The Bullwinkle Show, a version of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show that began in 1963.

Whiplash is the stereotypical villain of the silent movie era, wearing black clothing, cape, and a top hat, and twirling his long mustache. He is the antithesis of Do-Right, a picture-perfect stereotype of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police do-gooder. In one episode Whiplash and Dudley change hats; Dudley becomes a supervillain and Whiplash becomes the Fearless RCMP who receives a medal for bringing the evil Dudley Do-Right in. (RCMP Inspector Fenwick gets "bombed" by both Do-Right and Whiplash wearing the evil "black hat".) The design of Whiplash was later used for Wacky Races villain Dick Dastardly. The character was voiced by Hans Conried. Snidely was later played by Alfred Molina in a live action Dudley Do-Right movie, which starred Brendan Fraser as Dudley.
