Inch High, Private Eye was a 1973 Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. The titular character of Inch High, Private Eye was a miniature detective (literally one inch high), who attained his diminutive stature by way of a secret shrinking potion. Inch often enlisted the help of his niece Lori (sometimes written "Laurie"), her muscle-bound friend Gator, and their dog Braveheart to help solve mysteries. Their primary mode of transportation was the Hushmobile, a streamlined car that made virtually no noise while being driven, making it perfect for following criminals unnoticed. The small Inch worked for the Finkerton detective agency, where the boss (Mr. Finkerton) constantly dreamed of the day that he would fire him.

The show was first broadcast on September 8, 1973, and lasted thirteen episodes. It was briefly re-run in the 1990s. Inch High's voice was provided by Lennie Weinrib, who performed the character in the style of Don Adams. Weinrib also (before being replaced by Don Messick) provided the voice of Scrappy-Doo in Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1979).

Inch High was featured prominently in the Adult Swim series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law episode "Trio's Company", and can be seen briefly in several other episodes, appearing very often during the final season of the show.
