Clop is erotic or pornographic fan art, fan fiction, fan films, fan games, and other fan labor based on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, and further generations of the My Little Pony franchise.

The term clop, derived from a hoofbeat, also means 'masturbation' in this context. Clop content emerged on the web around 2010 and typically focuses more on character romance. A study suggests that about 19% of bronies (My Little Pony fans) have engaged in "clopping". Critics who view it as a problematic aspect of the fandom fear that it might taint the reputation of the My Little Pony fan community as a whole.
