Aloysius is Lord Sebastian Flyte's teddy bear in Evelyn Waugh's novel Brideshead Revisited (1945).

The model for Aloysius was Archibald, the beloved teddy bear of John Betjeman, Evelyn Waugh's friend at Oxford.

Aloysius, and in particular his representation in the acclaimed television adaptation of the novel (1981), is credited with having triggered the late-twentieth-century teddy bear renaissance.
