This is the list of episodes for Crossing Jordan, an American television crime/drama series that aired on NBC from September 24, 2001 to May 16, 2007. It stars Jill Hennessy as the crime-solving medical examiner, Jordan Cavanaugh. The show uses an ensemble cast approach featuring a group of Jordan's co-workers, members of the Boston Medical Examiner's Office and police detectives assigned to the various cases. It was created by Tim Kring. The title refers to both the name of the main character and the biblical metaphor of the ancient Hebrews crossing the Jordan River, commonly used in spiritual songs to represent death and passage to the afterlife.
Crossing Jordan is part of the same fictional universe as Las Vegas, another television series that aired on NBC. There are many crossover episodes between the shows. The crossovers included in the list are those which involve more than one character or are two-part stories where the first part is in one show and the second part is in the other show.
