The ' (; ), branded as () (formerly known as '), is a Canadian French-language public educational television network in the province of Quebec. It is a provincial Crown corporation owned by the Government of Quebec. The network's main studios and headquarters are located at the corner of de Lorimier Street and East René Lévesque Boulevard in Montreal.

Télé-Québec is equivalent to Ontario's TVO and its French counterpart TFO, and British Columbia's Knowledge Network, and similar to the American Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and its affiliated state networks, in that it is somewhat modest in scope, runs mostly educational or cultural programming and does not try to compete with privately owned television networks or with Ici Radio-Canada Télé, the French-language service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. However, unlike TFO and the anglophone educational networks, it runs commercials during its programming.
