Waynehead is a Canadian-American Saturday morning animated series created by American actor Damon Wayans.[1] It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and Nelvana, with animation by TMS-Kyokuchi Corporation (intro only), Hanho Heung-Up Co., Ltd., and PASI. It ran on Kids' WB from 1996–1997[2], and eventually had reruns on Cartoon Network from the late 90s to early 2000s.

Waynehead lasted for only 13 episodes and has never been released on VHS or DVD.[3] It is about a young boy named Damien "Damey" Wayne from a poor background with a club foot and was based on Wayans' own childhood in the Chelsea neighborhood in the New York City Borough of Manhattan. Actors cast in the show included Gary Coleman, Orlando Brown and Marlon Wayans.
