Stockinger is an Austrian-made police television drama, with fourteen 45-minute episodes first aired from 1996 to 1997.

Stockinger leaves the series to return to Salzburg where his wife has inherited a dental practice from her late father . He is appointed a Bezirksinspektor at the Landes Gendarmerie, sharing an office with District Inspector Antonella Simoni.
