The Invisible Man (later known as H.G. Wells' Invisible Man) is a British black-and-white science fiction television series that aired on ITV. It aired from September 1958 to July 1959, on CBS in the USA, two seasons. Of which these shows amounted to twenty-six one-half-hour episodes. This series was loosely inspired by the 1897 novel which was authored by the famous H. G. Wells. This television program was one of at least four 'Invisible Men' television series. This interation deviates from the novel making the character's name Dr. Peter Brady. The character remains sane, opposed to a lunatic as in the book or the 1933 film adaptation. No characters from the novel appear in the series.

The series also changed plot items from episode to episode. In earlier episodes, Dr. Brady's clothing becomes invisible if it is of natural fiber and natural material, but synthetic or artificial clothes stay visible. Later episodes assert that only Dr. Brady's original lab clothing is permanently invisible. Also later episodes minimize Dr. Brady's status as a scientist, and refer to him as either Mr. Brady, or just 'Brady' and as 'The Invisible Man'.
