The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (retitled The Hardy Boys Mysteries for season three) was a children's television series which ran for three seasons from 1977 to 1979 starring Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy as Frank and Joe Hardy, and Pamela Sue Martin (later Janet Louise Johnson) as Nancy Drew.

The series was based upon the two separate book series : The Hardy Boys (created in 1927) and Nancy Drew (created in 1930), both by Edward Stratemeyer, the founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book-packaging firm. All the books in both series were actually written by many different ghostwriters over the years, The Hardy Boys under the collective pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon and Nancy Drew under the collective pseudonym Carolyn Keene. There were hundreds of Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books published.

Only four of the original books were re-published with TV-themed covers by Armada Books, two from each series. In addition there were two TV novelisations published in the US ('The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula' and 'The Haunted House/Flight to Nowhere') both of which were published in the UK as one book by Armada.
