Donavan Freberg, sometimes credited as Donovan Freberg (born April 6, 1971 in Los Angeles, California, USA) is an American advertising creative, photographer, voice actor, and writer.

His voice-acting credits include Peanuts' Linus (1977-1978) and Charlie Brown (1978-1980) in commercials and public service announcements; Tom Little on The Littles (1980-1983); Montgomery Moose on The Get-Along Gang; the video game Zork: Grand Inquisitor; and voiceovers for hundreds of radio and television commercials. He also performed the puppet character Baby Boolie on The Weird Al Show
.

He is probably best known for appearing in a series of commercials for Encyclopædia Britannica produced by his father, satirist and advertising creative Stan Freberg. The 1988–1993 advertising campaign was the most successful in the company's 200 year history; Freberg was elevated to cult status, parodied on Saturday Night Live
and SCTV, dubbed a "Pop Intellectual" by GQ magazine, and named "The Most Annoying Geek of the '90s" by TV Tome. He was spoofed in a 2003 feature in The Onion, and in 2006, was chosen for VH1's 100 Greatest Teen Stars, ranking number 83.
