The Boss Baby is a media franchise made by DreamWorks Animation, loosely based on the 2010 picture book of the same name by Marla Frazee. The franchise began with the 2017 film The Boss Baby and has since grown to include a 2021 sequel, Family Business; two television series, Back in Business (2018–2020) and Back in the Crib (2022–2023); two short films; and a 2020 interactive special, with a third film in active development.

The franchise revolves around the Templeton family, particularly Tim and his younger adopted brother Ted, the latter of whom is an intelligent, talking baby who works for Baby Corp, a top-secret organization that creates the worlds' babies and helps get them to their proper families.
