Evil Con Carne is an American animated television series created by American animator, screenwriter, storyboard artist and voice actor Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. The series centers on wealthy crime lord, Hector Con Carne, who is reduced to his brain and stomach after an assassination attempt and subsequently implanted onto Boskov, a purple Russian bear (Ursus arctos arctos). Aided by his scientist, Major Dr. Ghastly and military leader, General Skarr, Hector now oversees criminal organization, Evil Con Carne, continuing his quest for world domination.

Evil Con Carne began as a segment on Grim & Evil, from which it was a spin-off, along with sister series, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, on August 24, 2001. Although the segments were produced for Grim & Evil, the series aired as a separate series from July 11, 2003, to October 22, 2004, on Cartoon Network.

After the show's end, its characters would frequently make cameo appearances in Billy & Mandy, with General Skarr becoming a recurring character. An official series finale, titled "Company Halt" (which was also a crossover with Billy & Mandy), aired on March 16, 2007.

16 years later on December 1, 2023, 19 years after the show's final episode, reruns of Evil Con Carne began airing on Adult Swim on its throwback programming block, Checkered Past. Twenty-two episodes were produced.
