Mammy Two Shoes (also referred to as Mrs. Two Shoes) is a fictional character in MGM's Tom and Jerry cartoons. She is a heavy-set middle-aged black housemaid who takes care of the house in which Tom and Jerry reside. She is also Tom's owner, and wallops the cat with a broom when he misbehaves; Jerry often tries to sabotage a task Mammy has given Tom or destroy the house and/or its contents, in order to get Tom thrown out of the house.

As a partially-seen character, she was famous for never showing her head, with a few exceptions such as Part Time Pal, A Mouse in the House, Mouse Cleaning, and Saturday Evening Puss.

Mammy would appear in many cartoons until 1952's Push-Button Kitty. Later cartoons would instead show Tom and Jerry living with a 1950s Yuppie-style couple. Soon after, virtually all humans in the series had visible faces. Mammy's appearances have often been edited out, dubbed, or re-animated as a thin white woman in later television showings, since her character is an archetype now often regarded as racist. Her creation points to the ubiquitousness of the mammy in American popular culture.

Mammy's debut appearances was in Puss Gets the Boot (1940), while her last appearance was in Push-Button Kitty (1952). She was originally voiced by well-known African-American character actress Lillian Randolph. She was the second prominent black character of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon studio, following Bosko. She appeared in 17 Tom and Jerry animated shorts between 1940 and 1952.
