Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) (Berlin-Brandenburg Broadcasting) is the organization responsible for public radio and television in the German federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg.

In addition to its main broadcasting centres in Berlin and Potsdam, RBB has regional studios in Cottbus, Frankfurt (Oder), Perleberg, and Prenzlau. RBB is also responsible for managing the ARD studio in Warsaw. The Potsdam broadcasting centre also houses the ARD Digital service.
