Rose and Maloney is a British crime drama, broadcast on ITV1, starring Sarah Lancashire and Phil Davis as the principal characters, Rose Linden and Marion Maloney, who are investigators working for the fictional Criminal Justice Review Agency, who take on claims of miscarriages of justice, assessing whether there are grounds to reopen old cases.

Three series of the programme were broadcast, beginning with a two-part story on September 29, 2002. Due to strong viewing figures, a second series of six episodes (again, all two-part stories) was commissioned for broadcast in 2004, followed by a third series in 2005, which saw a slight change to the format, with each episode being self-contained, and the length of each episode extended. ITV chose not to re-commission the show for a fourth series. The series has never been released on DVD; however all three series have been released, free-to-view, on YouTube, via the programme's production company, All3 Media.

Rose Linden (Sarah Lancashire) is brilliant, but strong-willed and sometimes reckless. She likes to follow her instincts and play hunches and often comes into conflict with authority. Marion Maloney (Phil Davis), although Rose's superior, usually allows himself to be led by his more passionate colleague. Maloney is a by-the-book man and a little grey. He finds working with Rose dangerous but addictively exciting. Additional cast in the series include Nisha Nayar, Susan Brown, Anne Reid and David Westhead. Guest stars throughout the series run include Tara Fitzgerald, Danny Dyer, Tiana Benjamin, Andrew-Lee Potts and Neil Dudgeon.
