Capital News is an American drama series that aired on ABC in 1990. Starring Lloyd Bridges and Helen Slater, Capital News was created by David Milch and Christian Williams.

The series focuses on the editorial staff and writers of the Washington, D.C.-based daily news paper "The Washington Capital" (a fictional journal inspiral by the actual "Washington Post"). It was produced by MTM Enterprises.

The series consists of one TV movie (also considered as the pilot) and twelve regular episodes, of which only three were shown on its initial run in the United States, after which the ABC canceled the series.
