This article is about the main character. For the franchise of the same name, see SpongeBob SquarePants (franchise). For other uses, see SpongeBob SquarePants (disambiguation).

SpongeBob SquarePants is the main and titular protagonist of the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise. He is a yellow sea sponge that lives in a pineapple with his pet snail, Gary. SpongeBob's best friend is Patrick, and his other friend is Sandy. SpongeBob works as the fry cook of the Krusty Krab and is skilled at making Krabby Patties. He frequently attends Mrs. Puff's Boating School despite not knowing how to properly drive a boatmobile. Some of SpongeBob's favorite activities during his free time are jellyfishing, blowing bubbles, or practicing karate. He has been portrayed by Tom Kenny since the start of the series.

Although SpongeBob is generally good-natured, his personality is juvenile and overly optimistic, often to the annoyance of other characters, especially his teacher Mrs. Puff and his grouchy neighbor, Squidward.
