Rage (stylised as rage) is an all-night Australian music video program broadcast on ABC TV on Friday nights, Saturday mornings and Saturday nights. It was first screened on the weekend of Friday, 17 April 1987.[1] With Soul Train and Video Hits no longer being produced, it is the oldest music television program in the world currently still in production as of 2024.

On Friday and Saturday nights, Rage typically starts between 11:00pm and 1:00am. The program is classified MA15+ until 5:00am, where it is rated PG from 5:00 to 11:00am on Saturday mornings, and at 7:00am on Sundays.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Saturday morning program aired from 5:00am to 7:00am, and resumed from 9:00am to midday, to make way for Weekend Breakfast airing between 7:00am to 9:00am.[2]
