Elmer Earl "Butch" Hartman IV (born January 10, 1965) is an American animator, writer, executive producer, animation director, storyboard artist, voice actor, occasional singer, and producer. He is also a conservative Christian and creationist.

He is the creator of the Nicktoons The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy and Bunsen Is a Beast. He, thusly, created the The Fairly OddParents shorts that originally aired as part of Oh Yeah! Cartoons.

On The Fairly OddParents, he voiced recurring character Dr. Rip Studwell, and also Dr. Bender and Wendell Bender, after Gilbert Gottfried was unable to reprise the latter two roles. He also had cameos in all three of the series' live-action movies. On T.U.F.F. Puppy, he voiced Agent Rodentski and Agent Weaselman in "Share-A-Lair".

After 20 years, Butch Hartman left Nickelodeon on February 2, 2018, publicly announcing his departure on February 8th on YouTube. As a result, Bunsen Is a Beast was his last Nicktoon created for Nickelodeon in 2017. Despite this, he has since worked with Nickelodeon on other shows, like the live action/animation reboot series to The Fairly OddParents, The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder.
