QTQ is an Australian television station, licensed to, and serving Brisbane, Queensland. It is owned by Publishing and Broadcasting Limited, and is part of the Nine Network. It broadcasts on VHF channel 9 (analog) and VHF channel 8 (digital). QTQ began broadcasting on August 16, 1959, the first of the Brisbane stations to launch.

The station was an independent member of the network before Alan Bond purchased the station, and integrated it into the Nine Network when he had control of it in the 1980s.
