Fjernsynsteatret () was a department of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) that produced plays for television broadcasting. It opened in 1960 (after about a year of experimental operation) and operated until a major reorganisation of NRK occurred in 1990.
Its first leader was Arild Brinchmann, who headed the theatre from its start until 1967.
Fjernsynsteatret's first production was a play by Peter Brook, shown on April 8, 1959. During its first years, the theatre developed between twenty and twenty-five productions annually, and the performances were broadcast directly. Later developments saw a merge between theatre and film; the productions became more expensive, and the number of productions decreased significantly.[

The theatre was replaced by NRK Drama in 1990.[
