Night Editor is an anthology television series aired on the DuMont Television Network from March 14 to September 8, 1954. Host Hal Burdick (1893-1978) would introduce a story, the time of which could range from the Civil War to the present day.

The radio program Night Editor ran from 1934 until 1948. Sponsored by Edwards Coffee, the radio series also featured Hal Burdick as the "night editor".

Burdick would receive readers’ requests for stories, in a "letter to the editor" format, which he would relate to the audience. Burdick played all of the characters in the program. The stories varied greatly including tales of war, adventure, crime, and an occasional ghost story.

46 episodes of the television version of Night Editor are held at the J. Fred MacDonald collection of the Library of Congress.
