This Is Your FBI is a radio crime drama broadcast in the United States on ABC from April 6, 1945, to January 30, 1953, for a total of 409 shows. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover gave it his endorsement, calling it "the finest dramatic program on the air".

Dramatizations of FBI cases were narrated by Frank Lovejoy, Dean Carleton and William Woodson. Lawrence MacArthur wrote the episodes.This Is Your FBI was sponsored during its entire run by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.

Promoting the program's debut, a newspaper announcement noted that the United States was then at war and said, "This Is Your FBI will show graphically exactly how enemies of the United States have, and are, operating , and how FBI agents and American citizens are cooperating to circumvent their activities." It added that crime was not glamorous but "a dirty stab at every citizen and his country".
