Miracles is an American drama television program starring Skeet Ulrich and Angus Macfadyen as part of a team investigating miracles, trying to determine their authenticity. Paul Callan (Ulrich) was a priest who had previously performed these duties on behalf of the Vatican, only to leave in frustration when he discovered that the Vatican was not really interested in confirming their reports on genuine miracles; during most of the show, their investigations were on behalf of Alva Keel's (Macfadyen) business, which operated much like a detective agency. Central to the show was the mysteriously recurring message "GODISNOWHERE" which at different points in the show was interpreted as either "God is nowhere" or "God is now here."

The show's executive producer and head writer was David Greenwalt, best known as co-creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off, Angel. Despite generally positive reviews from critics and a small loyal following, Miracles failed in the ratings (largely due to ABC's mismanagement of its time slot) and was cancelled after only six episodes. The remaining seven episodes were never aired in the United States. Canada's Vision TV began airing the show on October 3, 2003 and aired all 13 episodes.

The entire series is available on a 4-disc DVD set.
