The RTÉ Guide is a television and radio listings magazine in Ireland published by RTÉ Commercial Enterprises Ltd, a subsidiary of Raidió Teilifís Éireann.

The magazine offers detailed programme listings for RTÉ channels, as well as TV3, TG4, 3e, BBC One, BBC Two, UTV, and Channel 4, as well as less detailed listings for variations of BBC Wales, HTV Wales, S4C and a number of satellite channels. RTÉ Radio programme listings are also published. Lifestyle and celebrity articles are also included in the magazine.

The RTÉ Guide began publication on 1 December 1961 as the RTV Guide[1] and changed its name to its current name in 1966.[2]In 1977 the RTE Guide changed from Black 'n' White to Colour. Early on listings were carried for the BBC but were dropped after a few years and only RTÉ programme listings were carried, but following UK listings magazines deregulation from 13 April 1991, the magazine began carrying BBC, UTV/HTV Wales and Channel 4 (with S4C) listings also.[3]

A special Christmas double issue RTÉ Guide is published every year to cover the Christmas period and the New Year.[4]

In April 2018 the RTE Guide got its first new-look for some years.
