Popaj () je animirani lik iz stripova i serijala crtanih filmova o njemu. Popaj se prvi put pojavio u stripu Thimble Theatre 17. januara 1929. godine. Izmislio ga je američki crtač Elzie Crisler Segar.
Biografija Popaj je simpatični mornar sa sidrima istetoviranima na podlakticama i neizbježnom lulom od kukuruzovine u ustima. Njegov glavni antagonist je Badžo (en: Bluto ponekad Brutus) koji nasrće na njegovu djevojku Olivu (). Zahvaljujući špinatu Popaj dobija ogromnu snagu uz pomoć koje lahko pobjeđuje Badžu.
Od 1933. do 1957. napravljeno je oko 230 kraćih epizoda te tri duža animirana filma "Popeye The Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor" (Mornar Popaj susreće Sinbada moreplovca), "Popeye meets Ali Baba's forty thieves" (Popaj susreće Ali Babu i 40 razbojnika) i "Aladdin and his wonderful lamp" (Aladin i njegova čarobna lampa) .Crtane filmove je do 1942 režirao Dave Fleischer, a od 1942 taj su posao obavljali Seymour Kneitel(1942-1957, 1960-1962), Isadore Sparber(1942-1957), Bill Tytla(1946-1950), Dan Gordon(1942-1944) i Dave Tendlar(1956).
