《吸血鬼日记》是2009年9月10日在CW电视台首播的一部超自然剧情类电视剧。它以L. J. 史密斯的同名系列小说为原型，由凯文·威廉森和朱莉·普莱克改编而成。

The series takes place in Mystic Falls, Virginia, a fictional small town haunted and surrounded by supernatural beings. The series narrative follows the protagonist Elena Gilbert as she falls in love with vampire Stefan Salvatore and is drawn into the supernatural world as a result. As the series progresses, Elena finds herself drawn to Stefan's brother Damon Salvatore, resulting in a love triangle. As the plot goes, the focal point shifts on the mysterious past of the town involving Elena's malevolent doppelganger Katherine. Katherine was the love of both Damon and Stefan Salvatore many years ago. Her return, along with the family of Original Vampires, has all led to many plots against Elena and Mystic Falls.
故事主要发生在一个有灵异生物出没的虚构小镇，即弗吉尼亚州的神秘瀑布镇。该剧以女主人公埃琳娜·吉尔伯特的口吻叙述，由于她爱上吸血鬼斯蒂芬·塞尔瓦托，逐渐被带入另一个灵异世界。随着剧情发展，埃琳娜发现自己同时爱上了斯蒂芬的哥哥戴蒙·塞尔瓦托，由此展开了一段三角恋情。情节继续推进，焦点转移到小镇神秘的过去，其中涉及埃琳娜的二重身，即心狠手辣的凯瑟琳。凯瑟琳是塞尔瓦托兄弟多年前共同的爱人。凯瑟琳以及吸血鬼始祖家庭的回归，使剧情进一步朝着不利于埃琳娜和神秘瀑布镇的方向发展。
