Crisis is a 1963 Australian television play filmed in Brisbane made by the Christian Television Association. The cast included thirty volunteers from Sandcliffe Little Theatre and the Redcliff Music and Arts Society. Equipment was donanted by Brisbane General Hospital, the Red Cross and the Post Office.

The play was a rare television drama filmed in Brisbane at the time.

The play featured an early performance from Gerard Kennedy.
