"Free Churro" is the sixth episode of the fifth season of the American animated television series BoJack Horseman, and the 54th episode overall. It was written by series creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg and directed by Amy Winfrey, and was made available for streaming, along with the rest of season five, via Netflix on September 14, 2018.

In the episode, BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett) delivers his mother's eulogy. He struggles with how to talk about her, considering the abuse that he suffered in his childhood, and digresses into dark humor, television anecdotes, and a story of a cashier who gave him a free churro. All the while, BoJack struggles to understand the meaning of his mother's last words. Arnett, who also voices BoJack's father Butterscotch in a brief cold open, is the only voice actor to appear in this episode.

"Free Churro" was released to critical acclaim for its execution of an ambitious concept, as well as Arnett's voice performance. The episode made several year-end lists of the best television episodes of 2018 and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Arnett's performance additionally received an Annie Award for voice acting.
