List of fictional mustelids

Short description: Wikipedia list article

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.

The following list of fictional mustelids is subsidiary to the list of fictional animals. This list is limited solely to notable non-badger and non-raccoon characters that appear in works of fiction and that are in the musteloidea superfamily of mammals. This includes weasels, ferrets, minks, otters, martens, and also skunks, who were formerly included as a subfamily of the mustelids.

Fictional badgers are instead found within the list of fictional badgers.

Fictional raccoons are found in the list of fictional raccoons.

If a character appears in more than one medium, it is sorted under the primary one. Thus, despite occasional appearances in licensed video games, Pepé Le Pew is listed under the list of fictional mustelids in animation.
