Rockliffe's Babies is a British television police procedural devised by Richard O'Keefe, and starring Ian Hogg as maverick Detective Sergeant Alan Rockliffe, who is assigned to train seven young recruits to the CID, all fresh out of uniform.

Many viewers stated that the success of the two Babies series came not from Rockliffe himself, but from the popular ensemble cast.
