''Sense and Sensibility'' is a 2008 British television drama adaptation of Jane Austen's 1811 novel ''Sense and Sensibility''.

''Sense and Sensibility'' was directed by John Alexander and produced by Anne Pivcevic. Hattie Morahan and Charity Wakefield starred as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, two sisters who go on "a voyage of burgeoning sexual and romantic discovery".
