The Light Fantastic is a comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the second of the Discworld series. It was published in 1986. The title is a quote from a poem by John Milton and in the original context referred to dancing lightly with extravagance. The events of the novel are a direct continuation of those in the preceding book, The Colour of Magic (this is thus far the only novel in the Discworld series to follow on in this manner).

- The Light Fantastic is a fictional competitor robot in the game Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction. It is a lightweight class robot with a cone-shaped body. Its weapon is an axe and it is armoured in polycarbonate. It can self-right, one of only a handful of fictional robots in the game that can do so. The name could be a reference to the phrase 'trip the light fantastic', referring to a style of dancing.
