Authors in Focus was a British television series which aired in 1949 on the BBC. In each episode, a book would be discussed by a "spokesman" and a critic. Four episodes were produced.

The books discussed were The Triple Challenge by Francis Williams,[1] The Theory of the Leisure Class by Thorstein Veblen[2] Time was Away by Alan Ross,[3] and Managers, Men and Morale by Wilfred Brown and Winifred Raphael.[4]

It should not be confused with a 1954 series which had the same title, but with a different format.
