Jonah is an Australian television drama series which aired for 20 episodes starting from 15 October 1962 on the Seven Network.

Produced during an era when commercial television in Australia produced few dramatic series, Jonah was a period drama, and was inspired by the success of ABC's period drama mini-series like Stormy Petrel.

In March 1962 it was announced ATN would make the series with Michael Plant to be writer and story editor, Harry Dearth to produce and David Cahill to direct.

[8] The Australian Women's Weekly called it "fast, action packed entertainment".

[9] Filmink wrote Plant "was a first-rate writer: the stories proceed logically and dramatically, scenes are focused and to the point, characters are well-rounded and their behaviour is consistent.
