The Closer is een Amerikaanse politieserie van de zender TNT. De serie ging in première op 13 juni 2005.
The Closer draait om Brenda Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) die naar Los Angeles komt om een speciale eenheid van de Los Angeles Police Department te leiden, wat in eerste instantie niet tot enthousiasme bij haar nieuwe collega's leidt.
Brenda can't understand what led to a father's disappearance just as his daughter's single was about to hit the charts making her famous very quickly. Brenda has an opportunity to make her lawsuit disappear by settling with the family that brought it against her but that deal may not be as good as everybody hoped it would.
