The RTÉ Guide is a television and radio listings magazine in Ireland published by RTÉ Commercial Enterprises Ltd, a subsidiary of Raidió Teilifís Éireann.

The magazine offers detailed programme listings for RTÉ channels, as well as TV3, TG4, 3e, BBC One, BBC Two, UTV, and Channel 4, as well as less detailed listings for a number of satellite channels. RTÉ Radio programme listings are also published. Lifestyle and celebrity articles are also included in the magazine.

The RTÉ Guide began publication on 1 December 1961 as the RTV Guide [1] and changed its name to its current name in 1966.[2] Early on listings were carried for the BBC but were dropped after a few years. Until 1991 only RTÉ programme listings were carried, but following UK listings magazines deregulation, the magazine began carrying BBC, UTV and Channel 4 listings also.[3]

A special Christmas double issue RTÉ Guide is published every year to cover the Christmas period and the New Year.
