Snowy may refer to:
- The condition of having snow; having to do with snow
- Snowy (character), fictional Wire Fox Terrier in The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé
- Snowy River, a river in Australia
- Snowy Farr (1919–2007), English eccentric fundraiser
Snowy is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Snowy is a white Wire Fox Terrier who is a companion to Tintin, the series' protagonist. He debuted on 10 January 1929 in the first installment of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, which was serialised in Le Petit Vingtième until May 1930.
Snowy's conception was inspired in part by a Fox Terrier at a café Hergé used to frequent. Milou, Snowy's original French name, was the nickname of Hergé's first girlfriend (although Snowy is male).
In the first eight Tintin adventures, Snowy regularly addresses his internal monologue to the reader. Hergé diminished Snowy's speaking role after the introduction of Captain Haddock in the ninth story, The Crab with the Golden Claws.

Snowy received a Rana Wickrama Padakkama medal for his actions, the first dog to receive such an honour in Sri Lankan military history. He later died on 24 May 2011 while recuperating from the injuries.
