Tradesman's Entrance is a 1941 Australian radio serial created by Sumner Locke Elliott for the George Edwards Company. It played three times a week.

Edwards said "It is entirely different fom anything I have ever done before, and should make an instant appeal by its delightful freshness and originality.”

One critic called it "a very interesting serial".
