BBC News at Ten (formerly known as the BBC Ten O'Clock News or the Ten O'Clock News) is the BBC's flagship evening news programme on British television channels BBC One and the BBC News Channel, broadcast nightly at 10:00 pm and produced by BBC News. It is normally broadcast for 30 minutes, except on bank holidays when it may be shorter and only shown on BBC One. The programme was controversially moved from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm on 16 October 2000. The Sunday edition of the programme is listed as BBC Weekend News on TV guide and BBC iPlayer.

Since the suspension of Huw Edwards in July 2023, the programme has been without a fixed presenter schedule, and has been fronted by Fiona Bruce, Sophie Raworth, Reeta Chakrabarti, Clive Myrie, and Jane Hill.

From 4 February 2015 to 27 December 2019, the programme had a 45-minute format, with a half-hour segment focusing on British national and international news (with an emphasis on the latter), a 12-minute segment of local news from the BBC's Nations and regions across the UK, and concluding with the national weather forecast. The programme used a shortened, 35-minute format on Friday nights to accommodate The Graham Norton Show. On 4 February 2019, in order to accommodate a new time slot focusing on youth programmes from BBC Three, the shortened format was adopted on a nightly basis. The programme was re-extended during the 2019 general election and during part of the COVID-19 pandemic it was extended back to its 45-minute format, with Newsnight moving to 10:45 pm on BBC Two. Since mid-2021, the programme reverted to its 35-minute format.

During the first three months of its revival, ITV News at Ten averaged 2.2 million viewers compared with an average of 4.8 million viewers watching the BBC bulletin over the same period.^[1]

BBC News at Ten is usually not broadcast on the international feed of BBC News channel and is meant for UK viewers only. However, during special occasions or major stories such as the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the programme is simulcast on the international feed,^[2] carrying BBC News at Ten branding and title sequence, although listed on the guide as simply BBC News.
