Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator is a detective radio drama featuring the character Barrie Craig, a New York eye. The series follows Craig as he works alone, solving cases with efficiency and fearlessness. Set in his Madison Avenue office, the stories present a standard PI kind of fare, with Craig—an unconventional personality in the world of private investigators—being the "go-to guy" when one can't go to the cops. The series separates itself from its contemporaries by veering away from the traditional hardened detective stereotype, offering listeners a more easy-going protagonist who still manages to get the job done.

Initially airing on NBC radio, the show had two separate versions broadcast from both the east and west coasts from October 3, 1951, to June 30, 1955. The series attracted only occasional sponsors, which led to the show being mostly sustained by the network. Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator starred William Gargan in the titular role, with Don Pardo as the announcer. Notably, Gargan reprised the role in a failed 1952 TV pilot written and directed by Blake Edwards, subsequently appearing on ABC's Pepsi-Cola Playhouse. Other notable cast members included Ralph Bell, Elspeth Eric, Parker Fennelly, Santos Ortega, Arnold Moss, Parley Baer, Virginia Gregg, and Betty Lou Gerson.
