Perfect Strangers is a television drama that ran from 10 to 24 May 2001, produced for BBC Two. It was written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff, and starred Michael Gambon, who won a British Academy Television Award for his performance, Lindsay Duncan, Matthew Macfadyen, Claire Skinner, and Toby Stephens. Anton Lesser and Timothy Spall also appear. The drama received two Royal Television Society Awards and a Peabody Award. It was also nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Drama Serial.

The action takes place at and between two large family reunions, one at a London hotel (with significant parts filmed in Claridge's.) and the other at a rural conference centre once owned by the family. Poliakoff's use of old photographs to unlock the intricacies of individuals' lives is prolific.

In 2025, the BBC broadcast a 15 minute programme Stephen Poliakoff Remembers... Perfect Strangers, in which he discussed making the series.
