"The Skeleton Dance" is a 1929 Silly Symphony animated short subject produced and directed by Walt Disney. As one of the first entries in the Silly Symphony series, the film does not have a specific plot.

The film opens as midnight strikes, with various spooky phenomena occurring before the skeletons rise from their graves to entertain.
