* ''The Barrens'', another HorribleCampingTrip example.

* in ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuestTheRealAdventures'' episode ''The Spectre of the Pine Barrows'', the Jersey Devil is embroiled in a centuries-long feud between descendants of Redcoats and Minutemen over the original manuscript of the Declaration of Independence.
* One made some minor appearances in ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays'' episodes ''Cryptid vs. Cryptid'' and ''War of the Cryptids''.

* The ''AmericanDragonJakeLong'' episode ''The Long Weekend'' depicts the Jersey Devil as a flying moose with eagle wings and a lion's tail. The creature terrorizes a sprite village for seven days every one-hundred years, and is defeated when Jake's father sprays it with bear repellent (somehow mistaking it for a bear) and [[DisneyVillainDeath throws it off a cliff]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/ExtremeGhostbusters'' episode ''The Jersey Devil Made Me Do It'', the Jersey Devil is a spectral entity that attained its physical form, a reddish bat-like creature, through a forge's smelting process. It was shown to be capable of rusting metal, which it ate, with its breath.

** The Jersey Devil was admittedly barely a framing device, and it's clear that the show, filmed in Canada, knew next to nothing about the actual Jersey Devil, describing it as an 'East Coast Bigfoot' rather than the [[DidNotDoTheResearch much more unique legend behind it.]] A pity, cause they're usually so on the ball about this...

* There was once a comic called ''The Jersey Devil'', though it was little more than a rip-off of ''TheCrow''.

Some have noted that the Jersey Devil, the Dover Demon and the Moth Man may be one and the same. Also see {{Chupacabra}}, {{Wendigo}} and BigfootSasquatchAndYeti. May or may not be friends with fellow backwoods {{Joisey}} ghoul [[Film/{{Friday the 13th}} Jason Voorhees]].

No, not the hockey team (though, the team ''is'' named after the creature.)

* In ''{{Poptropica}}'', the Jersey Devil is one of four monsters whose existence must be proven by finding them on Cryptids Island. Its [[JumpScare sudden appearance]] and [[NightmareFace freaky face]] are a major source of AccidentalNightmareFuel.

* One made some minor appearances in ''TheSecretSaturdays''.

* There is a ''WorldOfDarkness'' campaign centered around the devil. [[spoiler:It's also a good example about how HumansAreBastards.]]

* In ''Satan's Playground'', the Jersey Devil is HeWhoMustNotBeSeen, with its family (presumably the descendants of the original Leeds) being the main antagonists.

* To Jersey Devil experts January 16th-23rd of 1909 is known as phenomenal week. Over a hundred perfectly sane people who had never touched a drop of whiskey in their lives clamed to have seen the Devil. Livestock went missing, crops were raided, pets were killed, and tracks in the snow were everywhere. Hunters and trappers said they had never seen tracks like them, and when a hunting party tried to follow one of the trails the dogs refused to come. Some track ways went out into an open area and then disappeared. Experts stay skeptical but lots of New Jersey residents remain convinced that this thing exists and has for over two-hundred-seventy years.

* In the ''ExtremeGhostbusters'' episode ''The Jersey Devil Made Me Do It'', the Jersey Devil is a spectral entity that attained its physical form, a reddish bat-like creature, through a forge's smelting process. It was shown to be capable of rusting metal, which it ate, with its breath.

* A series of backwoods maulings in the ''Series/Supernatural'' episode ''How to Win Friends And Influence Monsters'' are suspected to be the work of the Jersey Devil, though it turns out a man, driven insane by the Leviathans' latest scheme involving drugged food, is responsible.

[[AC:Toys]]
* The Monster in My Pocket and Cryptozoology toy lines have both released Jersey Devil statuettes.

* ''Satan's Playground'', which has a stranded family (and a few {{Red Shirt}}s) being hunted by the monster, the Leeds family, and Satanists.
