I Can Has Cheezburger? (abbreviated as ICHC) is a blog-format website which features videos and image macros. It was created in 2007 by Eric Nakagawa and Kari Unebasami. It is one of the most popular Internet sites of its kind, receiving up to 1.5 million daily hits at its peak in May 2007. ICHC was instrumental in bringing animal-based image macros and lolspeak into mainstream usage, and in making Internet memes profitable.

ICHC was created on January 11, 2007 when Nakagawa posted an image from comedy website Something Awful of a cat, known as Happycat, with the caption "I can has cheezburger?" Nakagawa continued to post similar images and eventually converted the site to a monetized blog.

A group of investors acquired the blog in September 2007 for US$2 million. It became the flagship site of the Cheezburger Network, led by Ben Huh, which also includes FAIL Blog and Know Your Meme. The network was acquired by Literally Media in 2016.
