A television pilot (also known as a pilot or a pilot episode and sometimes marketed as a tele-movie) in United Kingdom and United States television, is a standalone episode of a television series that is used to sell a show to a television network or other distributor.

Some series are commissioned straight-to-series without a pilot (although an increasing number of such series have their first episodes titled "Pilot").
