"The Sign" is the 49th episode of the third series of the Australian animated television program Bluey, and the 153rd episode overall. Bluey explores playtime, imagination, and family life as experienced by the titular character, Bluey—an Australian Cattle Dog—and her family and friends. In "The Sign", Bluey's family—the Heelers, also comprising her sister Bingo and their parents Bandit and Chilli—contend with selling their Brisbane home and moving away, along with an upcoming marriage between Bandit's brother Radley and Bluey's godmother Frisky.

Animated by Brisbane's Ludo Studio, and inspired by creator Joe Brumm's real-life moving experiences, "The Sign" is the show's first special episode, and also the longest at 28 minutes in length. Promoted as the Series 3 finale, it was produced as a test drive for a potential feature-film adaptation. It was broadcast on 14 April 2024 on Australia's ABC service (to an audience of nearly 2.3 million), and overseas on Disney's cable and streaming platforms. Reception was mainly positive, while views on the ending were mixed; various outlets also took note of the episode's emotional impact on viewers and fans. A bonus Bluey episode, "Surprise!", was released the following week.
