CSI: Miami (Crime Scene Investigation: Miami) is an American police procedural drama television series that ran from September 23, 2002 until April 8, 2012, on CBS. Featuring David Caruso as Lieutenant Horatio Caine,[3] Emily Procter as Detective Calleigh Duquesne,[4] and Adam Rodriguez as Detective Eric Delko, the series is the first direct spin-off of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,[5] "transplanting the same template and trickery—gory crimes, procedural plot and dazzling graphics—into [a new city] while retaining the essence of the original idea".[6]

CSI: Miami was executive produced by Carol Mendelsohn, Anthony E. Zuiker, and Ann Donahue, with the latter acting as show-runner.[3] The series ended on April 8, 2012, after 10 seasons and 232 episodes.[7] Following the series finale, Nina Tassler credited CSI: Miami as a "key player in CBS's rise to the top", stating that the series "leaves an amazing television legacy—a signature look and style [and] global popularity".[8] In 2006, BBC News published an article stating that CSI: Miami was the world's most popular television series, featuring in more countries' top ten rankings for 2005 than any other series.[9]

On May 8, 2024, CBS announced that the series would be revived as a true-crime series known as The Real CSI: Miami, which premiered in June 2024.[10]
