Which McDonald's character was named after the chain's Big Mac hamburger?

Officer Big Mac was the McDonald's character named after the chain's Big Mac hamburger.

Officer Big Mac appeared as a police-officer character in the McDonaldland advertising universe. His name used the product's trademarked menu name while giving the character a role that fit the playful civic structure of the fictional setting.

The character belongs to an era when McDonald's branding relied heavily on a large cast of named mascots. Each figure could support a different joke, product reference, or advertising story, allowing the company to build a consistent world around its restaurants.

Officer Big Mac is easy to confuse with Mayor McCheese because both have civic titles. Mayor McCheese had a cheeseburger-shaped head and served as the fictional city's mayor, whereas Officer Big Mac was the police-themed character. Neither should be confused with Mac Tonight, a later moon-headed advertising figure.
