Olga TV is a British independent television production company set up by the entertainer and talk show host, Paul O'Grady.

It is named after O'Grady's pet dog, Olga. The company produces The Paul O'Grady Show on Channel 4, following Paul's shock defection from ITV. Paul's choice to move to Channel 4 was not just potentially due to money, as was previously thought, but either because ITV wouldn't allow him to do his own production, or ITV forgot to renew his contract.

Paul O'Grady was reportedly offered a contract of £16 million to move his show to Sky One. However, Paul has said there were no such contract. He has since signed up to Channel 4 to continue making The Paul O'Grady Show for Channel 4 until the end of 2009. He has commented that by 2009, he might want to end his "chatshow" career and move on to something different.
