The BFI TV 100 is a list of the best UK television shows. It was compiled by the British Film Institute (BFI) in 2000 on the basis of a survey among television professionals.

The BBC produced 70 of the 100 selected programs.
Granada Television was the top commercial broadcaster with 7 of the 100 programs broadcast.

BFI employees made a preselection of 650 broadcasts, divided into six categories. News and sports programs were excluded. The list was sent to television professionals, each of whom could distribute thirty voting rights, with at least three in each category.
