William (Bud) Abbott i Lou Costello (rođen kao Louis Francis Cristillo) su zajedno nastupali kao Abbott i Costello, američki komičarski par koji je zahvaljujući nastupima na radio-programima, filmi i televiziji stekao enormnu popularnost 1940-ih godina, te postao jedna od najvećih institucija američke popularne kulture sredinom 20. vijeka.
Abbott i Costello su već bili etablirani izvođači burleski kada su godine 1935. imali prvi zajednički nastup u jednom njujorškom noćnom klubu. Otada su razvili zajedničke točke i nastupali kao komičarski par u kojem je Abbott bio "ozbiljan", a Costello lakrdijaš. Godine 1938. su počeli redovne radio-emisije na kojima su stekli nacionalnu popularnost, ali i razvili svoj najpoznatiji verbalni geg zvan "Who's On First". Dvije godine kasnije ih je angažirao Hollywood za seriji enormno popularnih filmskih komedija zbog koje će postati najbolje plaćene zvijezde 1940-ih. Usprkos toga, odnosi dvojice komičara su se tada počeli hladiti, i to najviše oko raspodjele novca. Kasnije su se pomirili, a 1951. imali i televizijski debi u emisiji Colgate Comedy Hour, a potom dvije sezone imali i vlastitu TV-seriju The Aboot and Costello Show. Njihova je popularnost opala sredinom 1950-ih, nakon čega se Abbott povukao iz show-businessa.
