Perry the Platypus, also known as Agent P or simply just Perry, is a fictional anthropomorphic platypus and main character from the animated television series Phineas and Ferb. Perry is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and created by the series' co-founders, Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh. He first appeared along with the majority of the main cast in the pilot episode "Rollercoaster." Perry is featured as the star of the B-Plot for every episode of the series, alongside his arch Nemesis Dr.

Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Perry is the pet platypus for the blended Flynn-Fletcher family, who is perceived as mindless and domesticated. In secret, however, he lives a double life as a member of an all-animal espionage organization referred to as The O.W.C.A. ("Organization Without a Cool Acronym").

He engages in daily battles with Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, a mad scientist who desires to take over the tri-state area with obscure contraptions. Perry was made a platypus because of the animal's striking appearance and the lack of public knowledge of them, which allows the writers to make things up about the species.

Critical reception for the character from both professionals and fans have been considerably positive. Merchandising of the character include plush toys and t-shirts, along with appearances in literature and a 2008 video game for the Nintendo DS. Perry is the docile pet platypus of the blended Flynn-Fletcher family.

Unbeknown to them, Perry lives a double life as a crime-fighting secret agent working for the "Organization Without a Cool Acronym" (The O.W.C.A.), going by the codename "Agent P." He reports to his superior, Major Monogram, via telecast in his large, high-tech, underground hideout. Everyday, he engages in battles with the evil mad scientist Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, who tries using inventions to take over the tri-state area.

Perry is always able to foil Doofenshmirtz's plans and in doing so accidentally leads to the destruction of whatever form of contraption his owners, Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, are building in order to better their summer. Phineas and Ferb are aware that something happens to get rid of their scheme for the day but do not know that Perry is the cause behind it. Their sister, Candace, also does not know that Perry is behind the destruction and is driven to near insanity trying to figure it out.
