Shant TV (Armenian: Շանթ հեռուստատեսություն, romanized: Shant' herrustatesut'yun) is a private television broadcasting company in Armenia. Shant TV was founded by Arthur Yezekyan in Gyumri, the second largest city in Armenia, in 1994. Shant TV launched a full 6 hour broadcasting schedule in May 1995.

The station was founded at a time of hunger for information programs and social tension in the country.
