The Classic Serial is a strand on BBC Radio 4 in which classics of English literature are adapted into series of one-hour dramas. It is broadcast twice weekly on BBC Radio 4, first from 3:00–4:00pm on Sunday, then repeated on 9:00–10:00pm the next Saturday.

Works adapted have included The Aeneid and A Dance to the Music of Time, featuring actors such as Joss Ackland, Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh.
