The Killings at Badger's Drift is a mystery novel by English writer Caroline Graham and published by Century in 1987.

In the fictional village of Badger's Drift, the elderly Miss Bellringer insists that her friend, Emily Simpson, did not die of a heart attack as her doctor claims, but was in fact murdered.

While the village descends into panic, the murderer strikes again, claiming the life of local birdwatcher Iris Rainbird.

As Barnaby investigates, aided by Sergeant Gavin Troy, he uncovers a connection between an older crime and the current killings at Badger's Drift.
