Hornblower is a series of television drama programmes based on C. S. Forester's novels about Horatio Hornblower and his adventures during the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars.
The series stars Ioan Gruffudd in the title role and was produced by the British broadcaster Meridian Television, and shown on ITV in the UK and A&E Television Networks in the United States. In September 2009, ABC2 started broadcasting a rerun of the series in Australia.
