London Kills is a British police procedural television series, written and created by Paul Marquess, that premièred on Acorn TV on 26 February 2019 in the United States. One of Acorn TV's first original commissions, London Kills centres around an elite murder investigation squad in London headed by DI David Bradford (Hugo Speer), an experienced detective whose judgement is called into question following the unexpected disappearance of his wife.

The series follows on from Marquess' former London-based police procedural series Suspects. The cast features a number of striking similarities, includes a documentary-style feel and has an ad-lib script allowing the cast partially to improvise their lines based on a synopsis. In 2024, it was renewed for a fifth series.
