Twisted Tales is a British comedy-horror anthology television series written by a mix of established writers and upcoming talent that aired on BBC Three from January to April 2005. It consisted of fourteen self-contained episodes with a mysterious twist and had the same format as a previous BBC Three series of six comedy-horror stories, Spine Chillers (2003).

The cast included up-and-coming comedians, such as Catherine Tate, Nick Frost, Marcus Brigstocke, Steve Edge and more, among distinguished actors like Alison Steadman, Paul Darrow, Mary Tamm, Phil Cornwell, Doon Mackichan and Annette Badland. The comedy duo Mitchell and Webb, best known for the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, both wrote and starred in the ninth episode "Nothing to Fear".
