Jellyfish Pictures was a British VFX and animation company specialising in the creation of digital visual effects and animation.

The company was founded in 2001 by Philip Dobree and Will Rockall, with a team of three artists and one producer, moving to their first studio in Soho, Central London in Poland Street in 2003. In 2005, they started their first long form TV series The Story of One, following this with work on the BBC series Fight For Life in 2007, for which they won multiple industry awards including a BAFTA, RTS and VES award for 'Outstanding Visual Effects. Over the next few years they continued to expand, working on the long form CGI series Planet Dinosaur for the BBC and Discovery Channel in 2011, followed by multiple nominations and wins for their work on Inside the Human Body in 2012. In 2017, Jellyfish Pictures launched its own original content division, Jellyfish Originals - focused on the development, distribution, rights management, financing and commercialisation of original animated properties.

Jellyfish Pictures has undergone rapid growth in recent years as the studio joined Key Capital Partners over a minority investment, expediting the global scaling of their VFX and animation teams, and advance the development and production of its original kids and family content through Jellyfish Originals. David Patton joined Jellyfish Pictures as CEO in December 2022 while Mark Warburg joined as COO. The on-location studio locations have also expanded significantly, with a studio division opening in Sheffield in 2020 (overseen by animation director Kevin Spruce), and a new Mumbai studio recently opening in 2023. Operations in Canada were announced in June 2024.

On 11 March 2025, Jellyfish Pictures suspended its operations because of rising costs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike and others, and announced it was exploring options for sale and investments. Its studio in Mumbai would also be closed with the London studio being on sale.

In June 2025, a new company, JFX (short for Jellyfish FX) was launched by Troubadour Studios.
