Tamazight TV (Tifinagh: ), also known as Amazigh TV, is a Moroccan public television TV channel, and the first exclusively Berber languages television network. It is a part of the state-owned SNRT Group along with Al Aoula, Arryadia, Athaqafia, Al Maghribia, Assadissa, Aflam TV and Laayoune TV. After initial planning in 2006, the channel was launched on 6 January 2010. The channel's objective is to promote and preserve the Berbers culture in Morocco and in the North Africa region. Programming is in Shilha language, Tarifit and Central Atlas Tamazight.
The launch was met with mostly positive reception by Amazigh citizens, with a representative of the Amazigh Citizenship Network calling it "a kind of reconciliation with the Amazigh."
