The Glass Teat: Essays of Opinion on Television (ISBN 0-515-03701-X) is a compilation of essays by Harlan Ellison for the Los Angeles Free Press 1970 on the effect of television upon society. The title implies that TV watching is analogous with being unweaned.

Allegedly, 'the book was highly regarded by television insiders and schools with media studies programs'.^{[citation needed]}

Modern critics have noted that his criticisms have continued to remain relevant^{[citation needed]}. The book's topics were dictated by the fashion of the day.

The Glass Teat is the first volume of a two-volume set. The second is known as The Other Glass Teat.
