The Kettering Incident is an Australian television sci-fi drama program, first broadcast on Foxtel's Showcase channel on 4 July 2016.

The series was created by Victoria Madden and Vincent Sheehan, and was written by Victoria Madden, Louise Fox, Cate Shortland and Andrew Knight. A sneak preview of the series launched at the 2015 Dark MoFo festival, with two episodes shown to select audiences at nine locations around Tasmania.

The series was filmed in and around the town of Kettering and Bruny Island in Tasmania, as announced in February 2014 by the then Premier of Tasmania, Lara Giddings, during a press conference in Kettering. The series was funded by Screen Australia, Screen Tasmania, Foxtel and BBC Worldwide, and was developed with the assistance of British broadcaster Channel 4.

The series was budgeted at fifteen million dollars, and was promoted as the first adult drama filmed in Tasmania. The series was directed by Rowan Woods and Tony Krawitz. The executive producer is Penny Win. A second series was in development in May 2017 but series creator Victoria Madden confirmed on Twitter in June 2018 that it was ultimately not picked up by Foxtel.
