Whitehall 1212 was a U.S. crime drama radio series that aired from November 18, 1951, to September 28, 1952. It was based on real-life cases from Scotland Yard's Black Museum, and its title referred to the phone number of the famous headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police.

The show was unique in its portrayal of crime stories, told from the perspective of the police, starting from the crime scene. Hosted by Chief Superintendent John Davidson, the curator of the Black Museum, it aimed to offer a more authentic look into police procedures compared to similar shows of the time. While The Black Museum dramatized the actual crimes from the perspective of the criminals, Whitehall 1212 focused more on the investigative work of the police officers.

The series claimed to present "unvarnished facts" of cases, with fictionalized names of those involved. It was heavily researched by Percy Hoskins, the crime reporter for the Daily Express, and had full cooperation from the Metropolitan Police. The show used British actors, adding to its sense of authenticity and connection to the real-world setting of Scotland Yard.
