"Half & Half" is an American sitcom that aired on UPN from September 23 2002, to May 22 2006. The show was about the lives of two half-sisters, and was set in San Francisco.

It was the second-most-watched show on UPN's Monday night line-up (next to "Girlfriends") and fourth overall on the network. The show was on The CW's first draft line-up in March 2006, but due to several circumstances -- including The CW's contractual obligation to pick up "Reba", the uncancelling of "All of Us", and the pick-up of the "Girlfriends" spin-off "The Game"—there was no available space on the schedule.

"Half & Half" was not presented in the 2006–2007 CW lineup, but it is in reruns on Global TV in Canada, Trouble in the UK and in local syndication in the United States.
