TVB City (Chinese: 電視廣播城; Jyutping: din6 si6 gwong2 bo3 sing4), is the headquarters of Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) developed by Sun Hung Kai Properties located at 77 Chun Choi Street in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, Tseung Kwan O, Kowloon.

The HK$2.2 billion facility officially opened on 12 October 2003, with Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa and TVB chairman Raymond Chow in attendance. The 110,000 square-metre facility, which replaced TV City, was designed to allow for future developments such as digital television production. The facilities include an 11-story broadcasting centre, workshops, a newsroom, a satellite antenna farm, two outdoor shooting sites and 22 production studios, of which "Studio 1" is one of the largest studio amongst all commercial television broadcasters in Asia.
