'The Defenders' is an American courtroom drama series which ran on CBS from 1961 - 1965. It starred E. G. Marshall and Robert Reed as father-and-son defense attorneys who specialized in legally complex cases, with defendants such as neo-Nazis, conscientious objectors, civil rights demonstrators, a schoolteacher fired for being an atheist, an author accused of pornography, and a physician charged in a mercy killing. It was created by television writer Reginald Rose.

The Museum of Broadcast Communications called it "perhaps the most socially-conscious series the medium has ever seen", a show "singularly resonant with New Frontier liberalism."
