Dragon Booster is a Canadian animated series first broadcast in 2004. It follows the story of young Artha Penn, a stable boy who rides Beaucephalis (or "Beau" for short), the dragon of legend.

Many of the characters are named after characters from the tales of King Arthur. Artha Penn is a play on words for Arthur Pendragon.
