Night Editor is a 1946 American film noir directed by Henry Levin and starring William Gargan, Janis Carter and Jeff Donnell. It was based on a popular radio program of the same name. The script for the film was based on a previous radio program episode "Inside Story."[1] A B-movie produced by Columbia Pictures, the movie was to be the first in a series of films featuring stories about the graveyard-shift police beat reporters at a fictional newspaper, the New York Star, but no other Night Editor films were made.[2]

Sony Pictures released it in the boxed set Bad Girls of Film Noir: Volume II along with Women's Prison, One Girl's Confession and Over-Exposed.
