TVP Warszawa (TVP Warsaw) is one of the regional branches of the TVP, Poland's public television broadcaster. It serves the entire Masovian Voivodeship with particular dedication to the Warsaw metropolitan area. From 1992 till 2003 it was branded WOT (Warszawski Ośrodek Telewizyjny, Warsaw Television Centre), then till 2007 TVP3 Warszawa and since October 2007 it has been using its current name. The main studios are located at the TVP news compound in central Warsaw (also home to TVP Info and most of TVP's nationwide news programmes) and local bureaus are in Płock, Radom and Siedlce.

TVP Warszawa currently doesn't have its own channel and it produces programming for the regional opt outs on TVP2 and TVP Info. Some of its staff also serve as presenters and reporters for the national programmes of the latter channel, including its transmissions of the parliamentary proceedings (which is part of TVP Info's overall concept as a nationwide channel staffed by the regional journalists from various TVP branches).

TVN Warszawa, Warsaw local channel of the privately-owned TVN network, is currently considered to be the major comptetitor to TVP Warszawa.
