Duck Commander is an American hunting and outdoor recreation company in West Monroe, Louisiana. The company was founded by Phil Robertson, a football quarterback at Louisiana Tech University, who developed and patented the company's namesake duck call the Duck Commander. He began his business in a dilapidated boat, where he spent 25 years making duck calls from Louisiana cedar trees. Phil and Miss Kay's third son Willie Robertson is the company's chief executive officer. Willie and his wife Korie expanded the business into a multimillion-dollar enterprise. Besides duck-hunting equipment, they also manufacture deer-hunting merchandise under the Buck Commander brand, fishing gear with their Fin Commander brand, and turkey-hunting merchandise under the Strut Commander brand.

The Robertson family and business are known through their media franchise that has encompassed numerous productions over the years. Including books, video games, toys, and television series such as the Duck Commander, Buck Commander, Fin Commander television shows on the Outdoor Channel and social media, the reality television series Duck Dynasty on A&E, and Duck Family Treasure by Fox Entertainment. A theatrical film about Robertson family patriarch Phil and matriarch Kay was released in 2023, titled The Blind. They also have podcasts: Duck Call Room, hosted by Si, Martin, and Godwin; Unashamed, hosted by Phil, Jase, and Alan; and WHOA That's Good Podcast, hosted by Sadie Robertson.

Duck Commander founder Phil Robertson died in May 2025.
