Mr. Palfrey of Westminster is a British television drama produced by Thames Television for ITV.

It started with "The Traitor", a television play aired as part of Thames Television's Storyboard anthology series in 1983, featuring Alec McCowen as Palfrey.

This was followed by two weekly series in 1984 and 1985, in the 9-10pm timeslot, again with Alec McCowen as Palfrey, and introducing Clive Wood as his assistant Blair.

This was followed by another Storyboard television play, "A Question of Commitment", in 1989, featuring Clive Wood as Blair.
