Wallace & Gromit's World of Invention is a BBC One science documentary show featuring the animated claymation characters Wallace and Gromit, made by Aardman. It is the second television series in the franchise, following the Cracking Contraptions.

The BBC said in a press statement that "the series will take a lighthearted and humorous look at the real-life inventors, contraptions, gadgets and inventions, with the silent help of Gromit". The series aims to inspire a whole new generation of innovative minds by showing them real, but mind-boggling, machines and inventions from around the world that have influenced Wallace's illustrious inventing career. It was the final Wallace & Gromit production to feature Peter Sallis as the voice of Wallace, with Ben Whitehead replacing him in all subsequent appearances.
