WPC 56 is a British television police procedural series, created and partly written by Dominique Moloney and broadcast on BBC One. The stories feature the first woman police constables (WPC) to the fictional Midlands Constabulary at Brinford Police Station in 1956.

Series one and two focus on Gina Dawson (Jennie Jacques) as she struggles to gain acceptance at a male-dominated police station and having to deal with the sexist attitudes that were commonplace at that time. The third series depicts the experiences of her successor at the station, Annie Taylor (Claudia Jessie).

Each series is a set of five episodes that were first broadcast on five consecutive afternoons during March 2013, February 2014 and March 2015 respectively.
