"Oh, boy! Feline fricassee!" Woody believes he has trapped his feline nemesis in this scene from the 1941 Woody Woodpecker cartoon Pantry Panic.

This is a list of Walter Lantz "Cartunes" featuring Woody Woodpecker. All are entries in Lantz's Woody Woodpecker series, except for Knock Knock, an Andy Panda cartoon, Chilly Chums, an Chilly Willy cartoon, $21 a Day (Once a Month), a Swing Symphony cartoon, and Musical Moments from Chopin, a Musical Miniatures cartoon. All entries from the Woody Woodpecker series are numbered in release order.

Directors for each short are noted. Several Woody Woodpecker cartoons produced in 1940, 1941, 1951, and 1952 carry no director credit; Walter Lantz claims to have directed these shorts himself. The first ninety cartoons (Knock-Knock through Jittery Jester) were released in The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection Volume 1 and Volume 2.
