Richard Oliver Postgate (12 April 1925 – 8 December 2008), generally known as Oliver Postgate, was an English animator, puppeteer and writer. He was the creator and writer of some of Britain's most popular children's television programmes.

In a 1999 BBC poll Bagpuss was voted the most popular children's television programme of all time
