'''''Catch the Saint''''' is a collection of two mystery [[novella]]s by [[Fleming Lee]], based upon stories by [[Norman Worker]] continuing the adventures of the sleuth [[Simon Templar]] aka "The Saint", created by [[Leslie Charteris]]. As per usual practice at this point in the series, the front cover credits Charteris, although Lee and Worker receive interior title page credit; Charteris served in an editorial capacity. Some editions misspell the author's name "Flemming Lee."

Charteris, in his forward to this volume, defines ''Catch the Saint'' as an experiment in trying to return Simon Templar to his roots in 1930s mystery fiction. While recent Saint novellas and novels published since 1968 had taken place in contemporary times and had been either adaptations of teleplays from the 1962–69 TV series, ''[[The Saint (TV series)|The Saint]]'', or based upon storylines from the ''Saint'' [[comic strip]], the two stories in ''Catch the Saint'' were original works said to take place prior to the [[Second World War]]. This makes ''Catch the Saint'' the first original (non-adapted) Saint stories to be published since 1964's ''[[Vendetta for the Saint]]''.
