Adventures of Champion is an American Western serial radio drama focused on the story of Champion, the famous horse of screen cowboy Gene Autry. The episodes revolve around 12-year-old Ricky West, who lives in the wilderness with his adoptive Uncle Smoky and his German Shepherd named Rebel. Champion is portrayed as a wild horse who only allows Ricky to ride him. The series touched on topics such as gold mines, rustlers, and Indian problems, but centered mainly on the faith and loyalty between a boy, a dog, and a horse. Each story ran in five installments, starting on Monday and ending on Friday.

The radio show aired 15-minute episodes on weekday afternoons on the Mutual Broadcasting System between June 20, 1949, and November 1949. Little is known about the cast, with the identities of the lead actors playing Ricky and Uncle Smoky remaining a mystery. The only identified participant is Dave Light, an animal imitator who provided the sounds of all animals on the program. The Adventures of Champion was also adapted into a television series that aired for 26 episodes on CBS during the 1955-1956 season, starring Barry Curtis and Jim Bannon.
