TVB City (zh-tp|t=電視廣播城|p=diàn shì guǎng bō chéng), is the headquarters of Television Broadcasts Limited located at the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate, nearby Shaw Studios. TVB is by far the biggest tenant of the estate and the first service-providing company in there.

The city officially opened in October 2007 and was constructed at a cost of HK$$2.2 billion. It was designed to cope with future development and expansion, especially for digital television production.

TVB City has a building area of over 110,000 square metres, 30% more than that the old headquarter, TV City, at Clearwater Bay. The facilities includes a 11-storey broadcasting center, workshops, a newsroom, a satellite antennae farm, 2 outdoor shooting sites and 22 production studios, of which "Studio 1" is one of the largest studio amongst all commercial television stations in Asia.
