Matrix is the title of a Canadian-produced fantasy/adventure series that ran for 13 episodes during 1993 in syndication. The series later enjoyed a brief revival of interest due to a coincidence involving one of its stars.

The series starred Nick Mancuso as Steven Matrix, a hitman who is killed during a job and sent to a version of Purgatory called The City In-Between. There he is given a choice: to be sent to Hell for all the murders he's committed, or return to Earth and help people. Once alive again, Matrix receives periodic assignments from The City In-Between.

Co-starring with Mancuso was Phillip Jarrett and Carrie Anne Moss. John Vernon was the narrator.

In 1999, Moss became popular for her appearance in the film The Matrix which other than in title had no relation to the television series. As a result, however, Matrix was rebroadcast in Canada.
