Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics (グリム名作劇場 Gurimu Meisaku Gekijou?) is a Japanese animated anthology series by Nippon Animation. The episodes are adaptations of a variety of folk and fairy tales, and not limited to Grimm's Fairy Tales.

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics comprises two seasons. Grimm Masterpiece Theatre (グリム名作劇場 Gurimu Meisaku Gekijou?) aired from October 21, 1987 to March 30, 1988, for a total of 24 episodes. The New Grimm Masterpiece Theatre (新グリム名作劇場 Shin Gurimu Meisaku Gekijou?) aired between October 2, 1988 and March 26, 1989, totaling 23 episodes. It was also localized under the series' English name.

In Japan, for both seasons, the series used two theme songs; the opening theme, "Rainbow Bridge" (虹の橋 Niji no Hashi?), and the ending theme, "My Town's Merry-Go-Round" (私の町はメリー・ゴランド Watashi no Machi wa Merī Gorando?), were both performed by Ushio Hashimoto.

The fairy tale anthology was broadcast in North America by Nickelodeon and in local stations throughout Latin America.
