Once Upon a Mattress is a 2005 made-for-television musical comedy film directed by Kathleen Marshall.

It stars Carol Burnett, Denis O'Hare, and Tracey Ullman and features Tom Smothers, Matthew Morrison, Edward Hibbert, Michael Boatman, and Zooey Deschanel. It aired on December 18, 2005 on ABC as the eighth episode of the forty-seventh season of The Wonderful World of Disney and is the last original television movie from that series.
