Bulgarian National Television (Българска национална телевизия) or BNT (БНТ) is a Bulgarian state television company founded in 1959 which began broadcast on December 26 the same year. The headquarters are located in Sofia, Bulgaria. It broadcasts two channels: the over-the-air BNT Channel 1 and the satellite TV Bulgaria, a channel aiming to broadcast Bulgarian production only. Another channel, Efir 2, existed between 1974 and 1998, and was later substituted by the private bTV.

The company has four regional broadcasting centres, based in Blagoevgrad (Pirin programme), Varna (More programme), Plovdiv (Plovdiv programme) and Rousse (Sever programme).

BNT's first live broadcast was the parade on the occasion of the October Revolution anniversary.
