Swamp Thing is an American superhero horror web television series created by Gary Dauberman and Mark Verheiden for DC Universe and based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Derek Mears portrays the eponymous Swamp Thing, a plant-elemental creature who fights malevolent forces around a Louisiana swamp with the help of medical doctor Abby Arcane (Crystal Reed).

The series premiered on May 31, 2019, and consisted of 10 episodes. Shortly after its premiere, DC Universe announced that Swamp Thing had been canceled. The remaining episodes were released on DC Universe until the series' conclusion on August 2, 2019. The rights to Swamp Thing were subsequently picked up by The CW, which will air reruns of the series in the fourth quarter of 2020. Swamp Thing was featured in the Arrowverse crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths", establishing Swamp Thing as existing on a parallel Earth to the Arrowverse series.
