WLVT-TV is a PBS television station serving the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania in the United States.

The station signed on in September 1965 as a NET affiliate. Due to cable television, its signal is now carried in Eastern Pennsylvania, western and parts of southern New Jersey and parts of Delaware and New York states. WLVT-TV's studio and transmitter are located on Allentown's South Mountain.

WLVT also broadcasts "Scholastic Scrimmage", a popular academic quiz show in which Pennsylvania high schools compete against each other.

Around the 1980s and 1990s, WLVT had many underwriters for almost every program they broadcasted. Some include: Crayola LLC, Just Born, Chrysler, Stanley/Vidmar, Bethlehem Steel, and WDIY 88.1 FM.
