Foyle's War is a British detective television series, created and (mostly) written by Anthony Horowitz and broadcast on ITV.

The series is set during the Second World War in Hastings, England, where Inspector Foyle (Michael Kitchen) attempts to catch criminals who are taking advantage of the confusion the war has created. He is assisted by his driver Sam (Honeysuckle Weeks) and his Sergeant, Paul Milner (Anthony Howell ). Each episode runs for around 100-105 minutes, filling a two-hour slot including commercials. The stories are largely self-contained though there are some running strands, mainly involving the career of Foyle's son Andrew (played by Julian Ovenden ) in the Royal Air Force.

In the United States, the series airs on PBS under the Masterpiece Theatre banner.
