''Fonejacker'' is a BAFTA award-winning British comedy programme broadcast on Creator/Channel4 featuring a series of prank calls involving a number of different characters performed by Kayvan Novak. It first appeared in May 2006, although it did not become a full series until 2007.

The show is based around a [[MalevolentMaskedMen Mysterious Malevolent Masked Man]] known only as the Fonejacker (Creator/KayvanNovak), and the numerous prank calls he makes, under the guise of various characters in attempts to [[MindScrew confuse]] or [[{{Troll}} annoy]] unsuspecting members of the public.

The show entered its third series under the name "Facejacker" and with a different format: instead of making prank calls The Fonejacker adopts various disguises, in a similar manner to ''Series/DaAliGShow''.
