IRIB Tehran (Persian: شبکه تهران, romanized: Shabakeh-ye Tehran, lit. 'Tehran Channel'), is a flagship television station in Tehran, Iran, owned and operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

The channel is one of the newer television channels in Iran and was established on November 26, 1995. The channel was also referred to as Tehran Channel by the citizens of Tehran, as it was only available in Tehran. On 20 December 2014, the channel changed from a provincial to a national channel, adding programs focusing on the economy. Tehran's provincial channel started broadcasting on 25 January 2016, in its own right but merged again with IRIB Tehran on 6 December 2021 and the Tehran Channel became provincial again.^[1]^[2]
