The Adventures of Brigadier Wellington-Bull was a short-lived black-and-white British sitcom starring Alexander Gauge and Valerie Singleton. Written by Austin Melford, only one series of five 30-minute episodes was produced.

The Adventures of Brigadier Wellington-Bull followed the adventures of a retired Army Brigadier, Garnet Wellington-Bull, who is trying to come to terms with civilian life. The other characters were his daughter Jane (played by future Blue Peter presenter Valerie Singleton) and Captain Pilkington, a young officer who used to serve under him.

Alexander Gauge, who played the Brigadier, died from an overdose in September 1960; The Adventures of Brigadier Wellington-Bull was one of his last programmes.
