Ryan Confidential is an Irish home-produced[1] television programme which was broadcast on RTÉ One until 2010. It was presented by Gerry Ryan,[2] until his unexpected death at the age of 53 on 30 April 2010. The programme was created by the producer David Blake Knox.

The format placed Ryan and celebrity guests in restaurants and hotels, designed to provide a more intimate setting than a studio. Ryan then interviewed his guests.[3] The programme, commissioned by RTÉ's Entertainment Department,[4] proved popular, and ran for eight seasons.
