The Web is an American dramatic anthology series that aired live on CBS for four seasons from July 11, 1950, to September 26, 1954. The program was produced by Mark Goodson and Bill Todman, and was narrated by Jonathan Blake. A series with the same title and a similar premise was also broadcast briefly by NBC during the summer of 1957.

Herbert Hirschman and Lela Swift directed on alternate weeks. Kent cigarettes and Embassy Cigarettes sponsored the program, which originated at WCBS-TV.

In 1951, it featured the first televised adaptation of a work by Nigel Kneale, adapted from a short story in his collection Tomato Cain & Other Stories.

The series won an Edgar Allan Poe Award.
