The Nash Airflyte Theater

The Nash Airflyte Theater is an American dramatic anthology television series that was broadcast from September 21, 1950, through March 15, 1951, on CBS on Thursday evenings. It originated from WCBS-TV in New York City at 10:30 p.m. The show was sponsored by the Nash Motor Co.; the Nash Airflyte was an automobile model produced by the company.

William Gaxton was the program's host. Mike Krich was story editor.

The series featured original teleplays and adaptations of works by famous writers, including Anton Chekhov, O.Henry and Agatha Christie.

The program broadcast the first televised adaptation of a Gilbert and Sullivan musical when it aired Trial by Jury on November 30, 1950, and its December 21, 1950, episode, "Molly Morgan", was the first TV adaptation of a work by John Steinbeck. The December 7, 1950, episode is believed to be Ronald Reagan's first TV credit. The initial TV appearances of Ruth Hussey and David Niven occurred on this program.

Nash Motors ended its sponsorship at a time when other automobile manufacturers were also dropping or reducing their sponsorships of TV programs.
