"Equinox" is a long-running Channel 4 popular science and documentary programme. The series has been running since 1988 and originally aired on a weekly basis.

The number of films per series fell over the years, from eighteen one-hour films a year originally to twelve by the late 1990s. The last regular series was shown in 2001, with six films. Since that date one-off films have occasionally been aired under the title "Equinox Special".
