Gobo Fraggle is a fictional puppet character from the television series Fraggle Rock,[1] created by Jim Henson. He is performed by Jerry Nelson in the original series, and by John Tartaglia[2] in its 2022 reboot Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.[3] In both iterations of the program, Gobo is one of the five main characters (alongside Red, Wembley, Mokey, and Boober), and the protagonist overall.

Gobo is an explorer, and the leader of the main group of five Fraggles who star in the show. He is adventurous and clever, though he has a tendency to act conceited on occasion. He is the nephew of Uncle Traveling Matt, another explorer, who left Fraggle Rock at the beginning of the show to explore "Outer Space", aka the human world. Uncle Traveling Matt regularly sends postcards to Gobo, who must journey into the house of Doc (the show's main human character) to retrieve them.
