Harry Hill's TV Burp (also referred to as TV Burp) was a British television comedy clip series, written and hosted by comedian Harry Hill, and produced by Avalon Television for ITV. The show's format sees Hill take a comedic look towards a previous week's schedule of programming from across terrestrial and digital channels, with episodes often featuring sketches and parodied scenes.

Much of its comedy derived from either taking scenes out of context, mostly in the case for fiction-based dramas, or highlighting comedic moments that occurred in a programme, often from non-fiction programming such as reality TV shows. The programme often featured appearances from real-life people and various television personalities and actors that featured in each episodes. Production of each episode primarily required Hill and his team to review preview tapes for a week's television schedule in advance to provide the foundation for the script of that week's TV Burp episode.

TV Burp was aired on ITV1 between 2001 and 2012, and broadcast mainly on ITV's Saturday evening schedules (with the exception of the first two series). It received positive reviews from critics, earning several rewards, and spawning merchandise, including DVDs of compliation episodes featuring highlights of various series. An Australian version of the programme was made in 2009 for Seven Network, while Cartoon Network re-ran a "child-friendly" version of TV Burp after its conclusion, but despite some re-runs of original episodes, repeats were discontinued due to licensing complications on clips the show used from other programmes and television networks.
