Devin Nunes' Cow (@devincow) is a Twitter account created anonymously that satirizes U.S. Representative Devin Nunes, a former dairy farmer, from the point of view of one of his cows. The account was created in August 2017. Most of the account's posts critique Nunes, Donald Trump, and other Republican politicians, using phrases such as "treasonous cowpoke," "udder-ly worthless," and many other cow-related puns.

In March 2019, Nunes filed a defamation suit against Devin Nunes' Cow and others who have been critical of him on Twitter, asking for $250 million. Prior to the lawsuit, Devin Nunes' Cow had about 1,000 followers, but became more popular soon after Nunes' lawsuit. As of January 2021, the account has over 767,000 followers. Nunes also benefited from the lawsuit and raised about $350,000 in the following 13 days. Nunes filed additional legal actions related to the account.

In November 2019, Nunes' lawyer subpoenaed Adam Parkhomenko, a Democratic strategist, asking him to turn over communications that might reveal the identities of the parody accounts' authors. Parkhomenko's lawyer responded that "no reasonable person would believe that Devin Nunes’ cow actually has a Twitter account, or that the hyperbole, satire and cow-related jokes it posts are serious facts. It is self-evident that cows are domesticated livestock animals and do not have the intelligence, language, or opposable digits needed to operate a Twitter account."

The anonymous creators of Devin Nunes' Cow and Devin Nunes' Mom, another parody Twitter account named in the suit, have created a Go Fund Me fundraiser to pay for legal expenses in the defense against Nunes, stating that although the accounts may be fictional, they are authored by people who have to pay legal expenses for their defense.
