Bluey is an Australian television series made by Crawford Productions for the Seven Network in 1976.

The series was a police drama from Crawford Productions, but was different from many of their previous series—Homicide, Division 4 and Matlock Police—in that it focused on a single detective rather than an ensemble, and that the characters were not stock standard archetypes usually seen in police dramas. Stand-up comedian Lucky Grills was cast as the titular Detective Sergeant 'Bluey' Hills who, in contrast to the relatively straight detectives seen in Crawford's previous shows, was obese, drank heavily (even on duty), smoked heavily, visited local prostitutes, and would often enact physical violence on criminals.

It premiered on Wednesday 21 July 1976 on ATN-7 in Sydney, as a 90-minute pilot episode, with the first 60-minute episode premiering on the following day, Thursday 22 July 1976. Bluey was later an essential Thursday viewing.
