Our Mutual Friend is a 1976 British television serial adapted from the Charles Dickens novel Our Mutual Friend. The series was made by the BBC and ran during 1976 for a total of seven episodes. It was directed by Peter Hammond.

The adaptation was by Julia Jones and Donald Churchill, who had written the ITV sitcom Moody and Pegg (1974-75). Their version excludes some minor characters in order to convey the action within the limitations of a seven-episode structure, but was praised by British reviewers for faithfully reproducing the mood and atmosphere of the original novel.

Theme music

The theme music was composed by Carl Davis.
