"Entrée" is the sixth episode of the first season of the psychological thriller–horror series Hannibal. The episode was written by Kai Yu Wu and series creator Bryan Fuller from a story by Wu, and directed by Michael Rymer. It was first broadcast on May 2, 2013, on NBC. Although it was the seventh episode produced for the season, it was the sixth in scheduled order.

The series is based on characters and elements appearing in Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon and Hannibal, with focus on the relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The episode revolves around an investigation on a criminally insane patient at a hospital named Dr. Abel Gideon, who claims to be the Chesapeake Ripper although the BAU team is hesitating on the veracity of his claims. The Ripper taunts Crawford by sending recorded messages from his missing FBI trainee, Miriam Lass.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.61 million household viewers and gained a 1.1/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received extremely positive reviews from critics, who praised Mads Mikkelsen's performance, character development, the flashback sequences and the ending.
