Night Beat is a 1947 British Brit noir crime thriller drama film directed by Harold Huth and starring Anne Crawford, Maxwell Reed, Ronald Howard, Hector Ross, Christine Norden and Sid James.

Sky Movies described the film as a "British thriller that examines a challenging issue of its times: the problems encountered by servicemen when trying to adjust to civilian life.

Its account of the adventures and misadventures of two ex-commando coppers opens well, but after the half-way mark it loses its breezy and disarming sense of comedy and hastily introduces a sordid and sensational sex interest.

"[8] The Radio Times wrote, "a relishably bad British crime drama set in an unreal Soho underworld of spivs and nightclubs.

"[10] Britmovie wrote, "fast-paced British crime melodrama ...The two lead actors are particularly wooden and it’s left to the supporting cast to add some lowlife colour; particularly Maxwell Reed’s smug villain, Christine Norden as the vampish blonde, Sid James [sic] piano playing snout and a brief appearance by Michael Medwin as an indignant petty crook.
