The Loud House is an American franchise owned by Nickelodeon that was started by the animated TV series of the same name created by Chris Savino, later venturing into the comic, video game and live-action formats. The franchise mainly follows the misadventures of the Loud family, who live in the fictional town of Royal Woods, Michigan. In the earlier years, the focus was mostly centered on Lincoln Loud (the middle child and only son out of the family's eleven children), but eventually the rest of the members came to get their own interchanging spotlights, with their social circles and major acquaintances also getting a fair amount of focus.

The The Loud House franchise provides examples of:
- Earth Drift: The animated series had plenty of unrealistic and illogical things in its first few seasons, but was otherwise pretty grounded in reality and the non-realistic stuff was mostly treated as the boundaries the show could have for its status as a cartoon taking influences from older animated/comic media. As the series progressed alongside the side media that came along, more and more fantastic elements like time travel and the existence of actual ghosts were incorporated, to the point that they were already pretty common in the series' fifth season, and were largely used in the late part of The Loud House Movie (which was released at the time of Season 5). By Season 6, most of the newly-aired episodes had far from mundane premises. The live-action installments (e.g. A Loud House Christmas and The Really Loud House) could be seen as even more zany and fantastical than the animated ones, since they tend to approach the use of cartoon and fantasy stuff into situations such as a Christmas reunion and parent-teacher conferences.
- Expressive Health Bar: In Germ Squirmish, as the "infection" meter rises, Lincoln's face next to it looks more and more disturbed, then sickly. If the meter fills completely, he gets sick and you lose.
- No Communities Were Harmed:
- The main city in which the mains series is set, Royal Woods, is based on Chris Savino's hometown of Royal Oak, Michigan. Royal Woods has a similar name to and shares the same state of location and general building style with Royal Oak, though it does deviate from the latter a bit with the inclusion of a number of places that bear no resemblance to Royal Oak or other cities.
- Great Lakes City, the setting of The Casagrandes, serves as the franchise's stand-in for Chicago. It's located about the exact same place as Chicago within Illinois, as clarified by an article on Keyframe magazine
and its stated distance from Royal Woods (which is the same distance between Chicago and Royal Oak at 200 miles).
- School Setting Simulation: In Living Loud: Summer School and Surprise Party, one place you have to go is Royal Woods Elementary, where you can go to the front yard, back yard, hallway, fifth grade classroom, and kindergarten classroom.
- What the Hell, Player?: In Living Loud: Summer School, if you try to enter the school at nighttime, Lisa will tell you, "You can't go to school at night, Lincoln!".
