Huey Freeman is one of the main protagonists and antihero in The Boondocks syndicated comic strip written by Aaron McGruder, as well as the animated TV series of the same name. Politically sapient and borderline militant, Huey, being a self-described revolutionary left-wing radical, regularly reflects upon current events as well as the plight of African-Americans as it relates to a greater American society. As presented by his pessimistic personality, Huey's character has often been described as "misanthropic" and "cynical". He is named after Huey P. Newton, one of the co-founders and leaders of the Black Panther Party. He is voiced by Regina King.

Huey, who grew up with his younger brother Riley (also voiced by Regina King) on the West Side of Chicago, was moved along with his brother to the peaceful, predominantly white suburb of Woodcrest, Illinois by their grandfather Robert Jebediah Freeman. It is strongly suggested that Huey's and Riley's birth parents are deceased.

Huey is a highly intelligent 10-year-old who recognizes and detests the absurdities and injustices (both obvious and perceived) of the society in which he lives. His cynicism, skepticism, and criticism often touches upon controversial subjects such as politics, religion, the media, businesses and corporations, African-American culture and American society as a whole.
