Shizuoka Asahi Television (静岡朝日テレビ, Shizuoka Asahi Terebi), also known as SATV, is a television network headquartered in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. The station, which began broadcasting on July 1, 1978, is an affiliate of ANN.

SATV is the third commercial television station in Shizuoka prefecture. When it was founded, the company name was Shizuoka Prefectural Television (静岡けんみんテレビ, SKT), and it was affiliated with NNN and ANN, the result of a complicated bidding process which involved two competing press groups. After Shizuoka Daiichi Television founded, Shizuoka Prefectural Television became a sole affiliate of ANN. In 1993, it renamed to Shizuoka Asahi TV.
