The Police Story film series (Chinese: 警察故事系列) comprises six Hong Kong crime-action films and one spinoff film, directed by Jackie Chan, Stanley Tong, Benny Chan and Ding Sheng, and were produced by Raymond Chow, Leonard Ho, Jackie Chan, Barbie Tung, Willie Chan, Solon So and Yang Du. The first film Police Story was released on 14 December 1985. After the film's success, five sequels and a spin-off were made.

Chan began work on the film after a disappointing experience working with another director on The Protector, which was intended to be his entry into the American film market. The first Police Story film is considered by fans to be one of Chan's best films. It was a massive hit in Asia. According to his autobiography, I Am Jackie Chan, Chan considers the film his best, in terms of action.
