Calucci's Department is an American television sitcom broadcast by CBS. It premiered on September 14, 1973, and after failing to compete in the ratings against NBC's Sanford and Son, was canceled after the December 28 episode. It was replaced on January 11, 1974 by the 13-week Dirty Sally, a half-hour western starring Jeanette Nolan and Dack Rambo.

The series focused on Joe Calucci, the supervisor of a New York City unemployment office. His day was spent dealing with a disparate group of claimants, the petty squabbles among the members of his staff (represented by a cross-section of ethnic backgrounds), the frustrations of governmental red tape and his infatuation with his secretary Shirley. Except for its setting, the show was similar to the British hit Are You Being Served?, which had premiered in 1972.
