Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a children's novel written by Roald Dahl, originally published in 1964. It has been adapted into two feature films: a 1971 film titled Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 2005.

The story centers on a young boy named Charlie Bucket, whose bad luck turns around when he finds a golden ticket inside a chocolate bar, winning him a tour of Wonka Chocolate Factory. On the tour with four other children, Charlie meets the eccentric owner Willy Wonka and the Oompa-Loompas who operate the factory. The other four children are ejected from the factory in unusual ways as a result of their selfish desires, leaving Charlie as the winner and heir of the factory.

The book and its film adaptations have been referenced numerous times on The Simpsons.
