You Must Be the Husband is a British comedy television series starring Tim Brooke-Taylor in the title role of Tom Hammond, and Diane Keen as his wife, Alice Hammond, with Sheila Steafel as Alice's literary agent, Miranda Shaw.

Tom and Alice Hammond are a happily married couple who become extremely wealthy when Alice suddenly becomes a best-selling author. The basic plot was based on, and expanded upon, the earlier play "...And I'm The Husband", which Brooke-Taylor and Keen had toured in between 1981 and 1982.

The show was repeated in the 1990s on UK Gold, but has never officially been released on DVD.

The title song for the show was the Dave Brubeck track, "Take Five".
