Stitch & Ai (安玲与史迪奇; Ān líng yǔ shǐ dí qí; literally: An Ling and Stitch) is a Chinese animated television series that is the third TV series in the Lilo & Stitch franchise, after the Western-animated Lilo & Stitch: The Series and the anime series Stitch!. It is produced by Anhui Xinhua Media and Panimation Hwakai Media and aired in 2017 with thirteen episodes. Similar to the anime, Stitch is separated from Lilo Pelekai and ends up in a different region of Earth. Unlike the anime, this show was initially produced in English with American animators assisting in production (including those who worked on the franchise's first TV series, Lilo & Stitch: The Series) and then dubbed into its home country's local language. The original English version began airing on Disney Channel in Southeast Asia in February 2018, and was later digitally released in the United States on the DisneyNow service and app on December 1, 2018.

Taking place after the last Lilo & Stitch film Leroy & Stitch, this series sees Stitch kidnapped from Lilo by a gang of space criminals who wish to replicate Jumba's Experiment 626 research. When another space gang attacks their ship, Stitch manages to escape back to Earth in the two gangs' fight over him. He ends up in the Huangshan mountains of China's Anhui province, where he meets a local girl named Wang Ai Ling and becomes her "dog" in order to hide from the space gangs.
