The Principal is an Australian four-part drama series which aired over two weeks on SBS starting 7 October 2015. It was written by Kristen Dunphy and Alice Addison, directed by Kriv Stenders and produced by Ian Collie.

Matt Bashir, history teacher and former Deputy at a prestigious girls' school, is promoted to the position of Principal of Boxdale Boys High in South West Sydney. Boxdale is a troubled school with a history of conflict and Matt is determined to turn it around, but his attempts at reform are met with scepticism and, in some quarters, hostility from his beleaguered colleagues. Just when it seems he is making progress, a 17-year-old student is found dead on school grounds.

At the 2016 58th Annual TV Week Logie Awards, Alex Dimitriades won the Most Outstanding Actor award for The Principal.

The series was released as a Region 4 single disc DVD on November 4th, 2015 by SBS in Australia.
