Teddington Studios is a large British television studio complex located in Teddington, West London.

The studio began in the early 20th Century when stockbroker Henry Chinnery, owner of Weir House, Teddington, allowed filmmakers to use his greenhouse as a studio. Dedicated studio facilities were built in the 1910s and greatly expanded and renamed Teddington Film Studios Limited in 1931. Shortly afterward the studio was acquired by Warner Bros..

By the 1950s the studio's fortunes had declined, but in 1958 it was bought by Associated British Corporation (ABC) for use as a television studio. When ABC was replaced by Thames Television (in which ABC's parent company had a 51% stake), Teddington Studios became the main production centre for Thames's entertainment and documentary shows, while news and sports programming were made at Thames's Euston Road headquarters.

After Thames lost its broadcast franchise in 1992 the studio became independent. Today it is part of the Pinewood Studios Group, and provides production facilities for several companies including the BBC.
