"The Pigeon" is the first television play episode of the first season of the Australian anthology television series Australian Playhouse. "The Pigeon" was written by Peter Finnane and directed by Eric Taylor and originally aired on ABC on 18 April 1966.

David Goddard, who produced the series, called it "a very sensitive, very moving lovely piece."

Finnane reportedly wrote another play for the series, "The Widow Thrum", but it does not appear to have been filmed.
