The Huntress is an American crime drama television series that aired for one season of 28 episodes on the USA Network, from July 26, 2000 to September 9, 2001. It was developed by Pamela Norris, and based on the 1996 biography of the same name by Christopher Keane about bounty hunter Dottie Thorson, played by Annette O'Toole.

After Ralph's murder, Dottie and their daughter Brandi (Jordana Spiro) team up as bounty hunters. Luis Antonio Ramos, James Remar, and Michael Muhney also star. The series was preceded by a two-hour pilot episode, which aired on USA as a stand-alone television film on March 7, 2000.
