Road Pig is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series. He is affiliated with Cobra as one of the Dreadnoks and debuted in 1988.

Road Pig's real name is Donald DeLuca, and he was born in Goblu, Michigan.

Road Pig was declared by his doctor to be the ugliest-looking baby he had ever seen. As a child, he was expelled from kindergarten for milk-money extortion, and was dishonorably discharged from the Cub Scouts. After being kicked out of a low-life outlaw gang for smelling worse than acceptable even by their standards, he joined the Dreadnoks as a probationary member. There he developed a split personality, as well as an infatuation of Zarana, who seemed to dislike the educated and refined persona of Donald, and prefer the more criminal and subversive persona of Road Pig.

Road Pig's arrest record includes charges of speeding, reckless endangerment, littering, assault, grand-theft-auto, usury, felony spitting, petty bribery, and passing stopped school buses at high speeds.

Road Pig was first released as an action figure in 1988. The figure was repainted and released as part of the Super Sonic Fighters line in 1991.

In the Marvel Comics G.I. Joe series, he first appeared in issue #83. In it, he sees a news report saying Zarana and Zanzibar have been arrested. Single handedly, Road Pig assaults the police station they are at and rescues them.

Road Pig is one of the operatives sent to watch over the new Cobra town of Broca Beach. Road Pig is seen assaulting Buzzer when the latter man becomes obnoxious. Clutch and Rock 'n Roll are found in the town, brainwashed, escaped, captured again by Road Pig and ultimately released into Joe custody. This is all part of a plot to have the two Joes go mad with rage in Joe HQ, which fails.

It is revealed Road Pig and Zarana spent months as Firefly's prisoners on Cobra Island, only to be released after an accidental encounter with the Cobra ninjas Slice and Dice.
