The Dreaming City is a 1952 Australian radio serial written by Morris West. It played Monday to Thursdays.

According to ABC Weekly "The action takes place during Venice’s International Film Festival, beginning with the discovery of a film producer dead in his hotel room. The intrigue in which various characters engage stands out in dramatic relief against the picturesque charm of the back-ground. "

According to one review "it's all about fights, abductions, dukes, passwords, countesses, vendettas, and the FBI. Competent enough, but oh. so familiar!"

It was one of a number of 52-episode serials written by West.
