The Organization is a British television drama series, produced by Yorkshire Television for the ITV network in 1972.

The series, written by Philip Mackie,[1] was set in the offices of the fictional Greatrick Organization, a faceless multi-million pound corporation dedicated solely to profits and more profits.

Peter Egan starred as new junior executive Richard Pershore, struggling to navigate his way through the corporate minefield, surrounded by more experienced and ambitious players. Through the course of seven episodes, The Organization features all the executive members of the public relations team at Greatrick. The series was repeated on Channel 4 in 1987
