Hyvät herrat (lit.'Dear Sirs') is a Finnish political satire television series produced between 1990 and 1996. It was broadcast from 1990 to 1992 on Kolmoskanava and from 1993 to 1996 on MTV3. Aarno Laitinen served as the main screenwriter, assisted primarily by Lasse Lehtinen, who wrote under the pseudonyms Saara Lenso, Serita Numintio, and Sole Sarana. For several years, Yleisradio political editor Jarkko Juselius also contributed to the writing. The series was directed by Pertti Melasniemi and produced by Jarmo Porola. A total of 207 episodes were produced.

In 1999, a 15-part continuation series, Herrat nauraa, was released as a follow-up to the original programme.
