Gunsmoke es una serie de drama de televisión y radio estadounidense ambientada en el Oeste. Creada por el director Norman MacDonnell y el guionista John Meston, la historia tiene lugar en Dodge City, Kansas y sus alrededores, durante la colonización del oeste americano. El personaje principal es el sheriff Marshal Matt Dillon, interpretado por James Arness.
La serie cuenta con 20 temporadas entre 1955 y 1975 y fue la serie estadounidense de drama más larga con 635 episodios. In 2010, Ley y Orden batió este récord de 20 temporadas. Al final de su transmisión en 1975, el columnista de Los Angeles Times, Cecil Smith, escribió: "Gunsmoke ha sido la dramatización de la legenda épica del oeste americano. Nuestra propia Odisea e Ilíada, creada con los elementos básicos de una novela de bajo presupuesto del oeste".
