Taiwan Television Enterprise, Ltd. (traditional Chinese: 台灣電視公司), commonly known as TTV, is the first television broadcast station in Taiwan. It was established on April 28, 1962 and started formally broadcasting on later that year on Double Ten Day, the Republic of China's national holiday.

The station became home to many trailblazing and innovative shows at the time. Recently, the station enjoyed a resurgence in viewership when it inked a major contract with Sanlih E-Television to promote and air the latter's shows. TTV's pop idol dramas consistently rated high, although it sometimes went down or up depending on the storyline and the stars' appeal on these dramas.

Under current media reform laws, TTV is being tapped for full privatization. However the divestment of government shares in the station is being put on hold and placed under investigation at the moment due to irregularities in its transaction.
