Jimmy Wichard is a character on King of the Hill, voiced by David Herman. In the town of Arlen, TX Jimmy is known for his slow wits, stupidity, quick temper, and tendency toward violence. He usually is one of the many that gets punished.

Jimmy is a violent and heavily brain-damaged man. His condition is the result of spending an entire day staring at the sun, which literally fried his brain. According to many characters (namely Dale) this is the cause of the man's apparent dementia, although he wouldn't have been too smart to do it in the first place. Or, as Dale put it "Kind of the chicken and the egg thing".

Jimmy has been seen working at a variety of different jobs, most notably managing a concession stand at the race track. Bobby Hill briefly worked for him there. Jimmy initially treated Bobby badly, until he made him his "go to guy." Bobby told Hank that Jimmy was working him too hard, making fun of him, and calling him a moron. Hank ignored what Bobby told him, dismissing it as Bobby being a brat or trying to get out of having a job. However, Hank realized Bobby was telling the truth when Dale filled him in on Jimmy's back story. The last straw for Hank was when Jimmy told Bobby to bring a soda to him from the infield, nearly killing Bobby by ordering him to cross the track while a race was in progress. Hank, infuriated, ended up chasing Jimmy down and literally kicking his ass violently.
