The Cowardly Lion is a character in the fictional Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum. He is a lion, but he talks and interacts with humans.

He does not understand that courage means acting in the face of fear, which he does. Only during the aftereffects of the Wizard's gift, when he is under the influence of an unknown substance, is he not filled with fear. He argues that the courage from the Wizard is only temporary, although he continues to do brave deeds while openly and embarrassedly fearful.
