Sofia the First is an American animated fantasy children's television series. The show follows a young peasant girl named Sofia (Ariel Winter), who becomes a princess after her mother marries the king of Enchancia. Episodes focus on her adventures and bonds with others, including her animal friends, with whom she communicates through an amulet that blesses and curses her based upon the goodness of her actions.

Created by Craig Gerber, Sofia the First aimed to employ relatable situations in a fantasy world; according to Gerber, Sofia's position as a child of a single mother allowed the team to explore themes of adaptation and connect to modern children. The series pilot aired on November 18, 2012, on Disney Channel, before the first season premiered on January 11, 2013, on Disney Junior. Following four seasons, the show concluded on September 8, 2018.

Praised for its music, animation, characters, and messages, Sofia the First received some of the highest viewership for a preschool cable television series; at one point, it became that category's most-watched program. A variety of merchandise was influenced by the show, such as theme park rides and books. Sofia the First was nominated for 11 Daytime Emmy Awards, including two wins, and received the 2014 Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production for Preschool Children. However, the series received criticism for incorrectly identifying its titular character as Latina; the controversy ultimately led to the creation of the spin-off Elena of Avalor.
