New York Confidential was a 1958^[1][2] crime drama, syndicated in the US, but broadcast on London's local ITV station, Associated-Rediffusion, in the UK. It was co-produced by ITC Entertainment, Metropolis Productions, Inc., and Television Programs of America.

Running for 39 half-hour monochrome episodes, the series chronicled the adventures of a New York newspaper columnist Lee Cochran, played by Lee Tracy.

The series is often mis-remembered today as having flowed from a 1955 Broderick Crawford movie of the same name. However, neither Lee Cochran, nor any newspaper columnist, features in the film. In truth, the two works were unrelated attempts to adapt the same novel by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer, with varying degrees of fidelity to that source. The film is frequently cited as being merely "suggested" by the book, whereas the television series is seen as being "based upon" it.^[3][4]
