The Giant is a fictional character in the television series Twin Peaks, played by Carel Struycken.

FBI agent Dale Cooper has seen the Giant in visions or while asleep. The Giant seems to be on the side of good, and he has given Cooper signs of what is to come and clues about the murder of Laura Palmer.

The giant seems to reside in the waiting room of the lodges (the Black Lodge and the White Lodge) with the Man from Another Place (the midget). They are "one and the same", implying that the waiting room is a neutral location.

The giant's visitations are often preceded by real world appearances of The Elderly Room Service Waiter, who wears a similar outfit to the Giant.

In the show's final episode, Cooper enters the otherworldly White and Black Lodges. There, he again encounters the little Man from Another Place. The Giant also appears, and sits on the couch next to the little man. They both look at Cooper and say, "one and the same".
