Dr. Frasier Winslow Crane^[2] (born c. 1952)^[3]^{[note 1]} is a fictional character who is both a supporting character on the American television sitcom Cheers and the titular protagonist of its spin-off Frasier and the latter’s 2023 sequel. In all three series, he is portrayed by Kelsey Grammer. The character debuted in the Cheers third-season premiere, "Rebound (Part 1)" (1984), as Diane Chambers's love interest, part of the Sam and Diane story arc. Intended to appear for only a few episodes, Grammer's performance in the role was praised by producers, prompting them to expand his role and increase his prominence. Later in Cheers, Frasier marries Lilith Sternin (Bebe Neuwirth) and has a son, Frederick. After Cheers ended, the character moved to a spin-off series, Frasier, through which the span of his overall television appearances totals 20 years.^[4]^[5] In the spin-off, Frasier moves back to his birthplace, Seattle, after his divorce from Lilith, who retained custody of Frederick in Boston, and is reunited with a newly created family: his estranged father, Martin, and brother, Niles.

Grammer received award recognitions for portraying this character on these two shows, in addition to a 1992 one-time appearance on Wings. For his portrayal on Cheers, Grammer was nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series but did not win in that category. For portraying the character on Frasier, Kelsey Grammer won four Emmy Awards out of eleven nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and two Golden Globe Awards out of eight nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series (Musical or Comedy).

In February 2021, ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) announced that Grammer would reprise the character in a new series on Paramount+.^[6]
