Tiger Aspect Productions (formerly known as Tiger Television from 1988 until 1993 and also known as Tiger Aspect Films for theatrical films) is a British television and film production company, particularly noted for its situation comedies. Founded by Peter Bennett-Jones, its productions have included popular hits such as Mr. Bean and The Vicar of Dibley. The present-day company was founded in 1993 from the merger of Bennett-Jones' Tiger Television and Paul Sommers' Aspect Film & Television.

It has also produced television dramas such as Murphy's Law and Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking, and in October 2006, its drama series Robin Hood began showing on BBC One. They also produced the American reality television series Damage Control for MTV, and the animated children's series Charlie and Lola, which was based on the books written by Lauren Child. Tiger Aspect has also made a documentary at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre (BRC), Quainton, on the life of Sir John Betjeman for his centenary celebrations.

In June 2006, Tiger Aspect and Tigress Productions[2] were purchased by IMG Media, an international talent and rights group, but were then sold to Endemol UK in November 2009.[3]
