Storytellers is a television music series produced by the VH1 network.

In each episode, artists perform in front of a (mostly small and intimate) live audience, and tell stories about their music, writing experiences and memories, somewhat similar to MTV Unplugged. The show started in 1996 with a broadcast of Ray Davies, during his "Storyteller" tour, and took its name from this first show.

As of February 2016,[citation needed] 98 episodes have aired, and many of the performances have subsequently been released on CD or DVD. "Best of" collections have also been released.
