Okinawa Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (沖縄テレビ放送株式会社, Okinawa Terebi Hōsō Kabushiki-Gaisha), also known as OTV, is a Japanese broadcast network affiliated with the FNN/FNS. Their headquarters are located in Okinawa Prefecture.

It is the first commercial broadcaster to operate within Okinawa during the American occupation in the prefecture.[1]: 49  In addition to airing Fuji TV programs, it also airs some of the Nippon TV output, and also represents Okinawa in the 24-Hour Television telethon. Okinawa has no NNN affiliate of its own, but there was a failed plan to introduce such an affiliate on UHF in the early 90s, the plan was eventually halted.
