Baby Jake is a children's TV programme broadcast in the UK by the BBC. First aired on 27th June 2011, the programme features Jake, a 10-month old baby. Jake is the youngest of ten children all living in a windmill with their parents. Each episode features Jake embarking on an adventure with a host of magical characters including Pengy Quin (a penguin), the Hamsternauts, Nibbles the rabbit and Sydney the Monkey.

The show features a child narrator and all ten children are depicted in real life, although Baby Jake is animated on the adventures. Jake's babbling is [translated[translation]] by his brother Isaac, a 5-year-old. The voice of Isaac is that of another 5-year-old boy, a move described by the Guardian as "a risk" since the majority of successful children's TV is narrated by adults.

The programme cost £1.85m to produce, half of which was funded by CBeebies with the rest hoped to be recouped from selling the programme abroad. Darrall MacQueen produced the series.
