Monkey (also known as The Monkey, ITV Digital Monkey or PG Tips Monkey, and often pronounced / ˈ m u ŋ k ɛ / in imitation of Johnny Vegas' Lancashire accent), is a puppet advertising character in the form of a knitted sock monkey.

Monkey is the mascot of the now defunct television company ITV Digital in 2001-2002 and PG Tips tea from 2007-2017. He is voiced by Ben Miller. In adverts for both ITV Digital and PG Tips, Monkey had a human sidekick named Al (played by comedian Johnny Vegas) who would pronounce his name as Munkeh (in Vegas's Lancashire accent).

PG Tips is a brand of tea in the United Kingdom manufactured by Lipton Teas and Infusions. In the 1930s, Brooke Bond launched PG Tips in the tea market in the United Kingdom under the name Pre-Gestee, a variant of the original name "Digestive Tea." The name implied that it could be drunk as a digestive aid prior to eating food.
