Sabrina's father (Japanese: ナツメ 父親 Natsume's father) is a character who appeared in two episodes of the Pokémon anime. He is voiced by 秋元羊介 Yōsuke Akimoto in Japanese and Maddie Blaustein in English. Due to the fact that he was never given a name, this page will simply refer to him as Sabrina's father.

He first appeared in Abra and the Psychic Showdown. He recommended that Ash should not battle Sabrina, the Saffron City Gym Leader. After Ash was defeated by her, her father returned and told Ash the only way to defeat Sabrina is by using a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

He returned in Haunter versus Kadabra to save Ash from being turned into a doll by Sabrina. Her father told Ash that Sabrina was not always as mysterious and manipulating as she is now. Ash returned to the gym, and using his Haunter, he was able to earn his Marsh Badge by making Sabrina laugh again and therefore became herself again like she had in the past.

Although it is revealed that the man is Sabrina's father, Ash never figured out their relation. He believed that the man knew so much about Sabrina because he was her photographer, while in the Japanese version Ash believe that he is a neighbor of Sabrina's.

He is also shown to be capable of teleporting without the use of a known Pokémon, as well as being able to teleport others with him.
