BBC Roath Lock Studios is a television production studio in Cardiff, Wales. The facility houses BBC drama productions that include (as of 2017) Doctor Who, Casualty, and Pobol y Cwm. The centre topped out on 20 February 2011 and filming for such productions commenced in autumn of the same year.

The facility is located on a development site known as Porth Teigr, which included a proposed 3,700-square-metre (40,000 ft2) digital media centre, and between 2012 and 2017 hosted an interactive Doctor Who exhibition titled the Doctor Who Experience. The facility was built to accommodate 500 to 600 people working on site.
