Thief is a 2006 American crime thriller miniseries featuring Andre Braugher as Nick Atwater, a skilled thief who leads a team in executing heists while balancing his private affairs. The series was broadcast on FX from March 28 through May 2.

Originally commissioned as a pilot by Fox in 2002, the project advanced only after Braugher became involved. Although the show received favorable reviews from critics, it struggled with viewership numbers, resulting in FX opting not to continue the series.

Each installment showcases a unique track performed by multiple Grammy Award nominee Anthony Hamilton.
