Triple J TV (stylised in all lowercase) was the name given to a series of Australian television programmes that aired on ABC1, ABC2 and online from July 2006, as a television spin-off of national radio broadcaster Triple J. The series focused on youth-oriented programming of music, interviews, comedy, currents affairs and documentaries.
Triple J manager Linda Bracken said the expansion into audiovisual programming was a natural progression for the brand, and that "for Triple J to remain relevant to a youth market we had to be more than a radio station." Founded as jtv, its first broadcast was on 28 July 2006, and the first live programme, a You Am I concert recorded live from the Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, was hosted the following night. On ABC1, six hours a week was dedicated to Triple J TV content, mostly scheduled on Friday and Saturday nights.

Current programmes include:
- jtv live (various times on ABC1 and ABC2) – live concert events, similar to Triple J's Live at the Wireless show
