Ring-a-Ding, originally known as Ding-A-Ling, is a pair of small bell-like creatures and a member of the Smithy Gang in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake.

Mario and his allies encounter Ring-a-Ding in Smithy's Factory. They, along with Count Down, guard an early part of the factory.

Ring-a-Ding can attack physically or use special moves, such as Dark Star, which is similar to the special attack used by Mallow, but targets a single character for high damage, Doom Reverb, which casts Mute against a single character and Fear Roulette, which KOs a party member at random. It can also chant "Time is marching on!" which will cause Count Down to skip ahead hours. Immediately before an attack, stars will shine in front of the bell that is initiating the next attack. Physical attacks are usually indicated by a simple line, while Dark Star is announced by a star formation, Doom Reverb by a bell-shaped formation, and the Fear Roulette by a "rotating" circle of stars.
