Bog Stop is a televised Irish language children's quiz show, produced by Abú Media for TG4, presented by Máire Treasa Ní Dhubhghaill, and shown on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Each fortnight, three schools compete to win a trophy.

Six shows are recorded in one day, to be broadcast over six days. Six students from each school compete on the game show, one for each day. Each series consists of 66 episodes, with 33 schools taking part.

The show is a version of the original Australian show, Go Go Stop. The format has also been used in Belgium and Turkey.

The shows are recorded in the Black Box Theatre in Galway, over 11 days around April, for broadcasting in January to June of the following year. The fourth series was recorded in April 2010 and was broadcast in 2011 on TG4 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 4:30 pm, with a repeat of the previous three episodes on Sunday mornings.

For the first series in 2008, the shows were broadcast Monday to Friday, with five students from each of three schools taking part over one week. Three different schools would compete the following week. Since the second series in 2009, the schedule has been Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with six students from each of three schools taking part over two weeks. Three different schools compete every two weeks.
