Sparky Frankenstein is Victor Frankenstein's pet dog and the title deuteragonist in both Tim Burton's short film Frankenweenie as well as his animated feature film of the same name. In both stories, Sparky dies, much to the dismay of his young owner, who proceeds to bring the pup back to life in his makeshift laboratory.

He is voiced by Mark Dodson in the short film and by Frank Welker in the animated movie.
