Off The Rack is an American sitcom television series set in the Los Angeles garment industry that aired on ABC from March 15 until April 19, 1985. The series stars Ed Asner and Eileen Brennan and was originally directed by Noam Pitlik. Its taping location was the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.

It was canceled after six regular episodes and 1 half-hour pilot, which aired as a special on December 7, 1984 (in which the locale was originally New York- the network insisted the setting be changed to Los Angeles for the series). Off the Rack premiered as a regular series in the middle of the 1984-1985 television season as a mid-season replacement on ABC on the same day as Mr. Belvedere. Writer Lissa Levin and director Noam Pitlik would go on to work for that series, following Off the Rack's cancellation.
