COBRA is a British political thriller television series created and written by Ben Richards that stars Robert Carlyle and Victoria Hamilton in lead roles. The first series premiered on 17 January 2020 on Sky One. In February 2020, it was renewed for a second series, subtitled Cyberwar, which premiered on 15 October 2021 on Sky Max, following the shutdown of Sky One. In May 2022, it was renewed for a third series, subtitled Rebellion, which premiered on 12 October 2023.

The title of the series refers to the Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms (COBR), which is often misspelt with a superfluous 'a' in the media, and is a location in Whitehall where British Prime Ministers often hold important emergency meetings.
