Ripley is an American neo-noir psychological thriller miniseries created, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 crime novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Starring Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, with Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf, the eight-episode limited series is the first adaptation of Highsmith's novel to a series.

Ripley was originally set to air on Showtime, but in February 2023 the series was moved to Netflix. It premiered on April 4, 2024, and received critical praise for its writing, directing, production design, cinematography, score, and performances, particularly for Scott's portrayal of Tom Ripley. At the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, it received 13 nominations, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and acting nods for Scott and Fanning.
